UTENSILS GUIDE
•
The ideal material for a microwave utensil is material which is transparent. This allows energy to
pass through the container and heat the food.
•
A microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be
used.
•
Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal
fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
•
Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food in corners tends to
overcook.
•
Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be
careful don't use too much and keep a distance of 3cm.
•
