Microwave cookware guide
• Cookware used in a microwave oven must be microwave safe. The following
materials or utensils are generally considered microwave safe: heat-resistant
glass, heat-resistant ceramics, microwave safe plastic, and kitchen paper.
Glass that is not heat-resistant is not suitable for use in a microwave oven.
• We recommend round/oval dishes for microwave cooking rather than square/
oblong ones, as food in the corners of a container tends to overcook.
• Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so do not use any cookware made of
or containing metal, such as dishes with a metallic trim, metal racks, trays or
utensils, aluminium foil, or foil containers.
• Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may
contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
• You may wrap narrow strips of aluminium foil around parts of the food to
prevent overcooking of exposed areas. However, take care not to use too
much foil, and keep a distance of 3cm between the foil and the interior wall.
Microwave cooking principles
• Arrange the food so the thickest parts are towards the outside of the dish.
Turn pieces over at least once during cooking to ensure even cooking.
• Cover the food, but not tightly, as some ventilation is necessary for even
heating. Covers prevent spattering and help food cook evenly.
• Watch the cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and
add more time as needed. Severely overcooked food can smoke or ignite.
• Never heat food in sealed containers as they may explode.
• Do not boil eggs in their shell, as they may explode, even after microwave
heating has ended.
• Pierce foods with nonporous skins such as potatoes, squash, apples,
chestnuts before cooking.
• Do not attempt to fry food in the oven, as hot oil can damage oven parts and
utensils, or cause skin burns.
CAUTION: Hot!
• Use oven mitts to handle cooking utensils that have become hot because of
the heat transferred from the food.
• Take care when handling containers with hot drinks, as the liquid may boil and
erupt from the container.
• Always check the temperature before serving. To avoid burns, always stir or
shake the contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars.
