QUICK CHECK GUIDE TO COOKING UTENSILS
melt. If dishes are heat resistant they may be used on
COMBINATION but not directly under the GRILL.
When unsure that a cooking
con tainer is suitable for use in your
microwave, check by the follow ing test:
1. Fill a microwave safe measur ing jug
with 300ml (
2. Place it on the turntable
along side the dish to be tested. If
the dish you are testing is a large
dish, then stand the measur ing jug
on top of the empty dish.
3. Heat on HIGH power for
1 minute.
Oven glass
Everyday glass that is heat
resistant e.g. Pyrex ® , is ideal for
Microwave or Combination
cooking.
DO NOT USE FOR GRILLING on
the GRILL RACK. Do not use
delicate glass or lead crystal which
may crack or arc.
China and ceramic
Everyday glazed china, porcelain
or ceramic plates, bowls, mugs
and cups can be used if they are
heat resis tant. Fine bone china
should only be used for reheating
for short periods. Do not use
dishes with a metal rim or pattern.
Do not use jugs or mugs with
glued handles, since the glue can
1 ⁄
2pt) cold water.
Pottery, earthenware, stoneware
If completely glazed, these dishes
are suitable. Do not use if partially
glazed or unglazed, since they are
able to absorb water which in turn
absorbs microwave energy, making
the container very hot and slows
down the cooking of food.
Foil/metal containers
NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN
FOIL OR METAL con tai ners on
Microwave only as the microwaves
cannot pass through and the food
will not heat evenly, it may also
damage your oven. Foil and metal
containers can be used on GRILL
and may be used with care during
certain COMBINATION cooking as
long as they are not damaged or dented.
Testing Dishes for
Result
If the dish is suitable for
micro waving, it will remain cool, whilst
the water in the jug will begin to feel
warm. If the testing dish feels warm, do
not use as it is obvious ly absorbing
microwave energy.
N.B. This test does not apply to plastic
or metal based con tainers e.g. Le
Creuset ® style dishes, which should not
be used as they are cast iron covered
with enamel.
