1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil
is transparent to microwave, it allows
energy to pass through the container and
heat the food.
2. Microwave can not penetrate metal, so
metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when
microwave cooking, as they may contain
small metal fragments which may cause
sparks and/or fires.
UTeNsILs GUIDe
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/
oblong ones are recommend, as food in
corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be
used to prevent overcooking of exposed
areas. But be careful don’t use too much
and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm)
between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help
you select the correct utensils.
