Metal containers should not be used in a microwave
oven. There are, however, some exceptions.
If you
have purchased food which is prepackaged in an
aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on
the package. When using aluminum foil containers,
cooking times may be longer because microwaves
will only penetrate the top of the food.
If you use aluminum containers without package
instructions, follow these guidelines:
• Place the container in a glass bowl and add some
water so that it covers the bottom of the container,
not more than ¼ in. (.64 cm) high. This ensures even
heating of the container bottom.
® Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven.
• Use only undamaged containers.
® Do not use containers taller than '_ in. (1.9 cm).
• Container
must be at least half filled.
® To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum _ in.
(.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the
walls of the oven and also between two aluminum
container&
o Always place the container on the turntable.
® Reheating
food in aluminum foil containers usually
takes up to double the time compared to reheating
in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The
time when food is ready will vary depending upon
the type of container you use.
® Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so
that heat is spread evenly throughout
container.
