c) Utensils

The ideal utensil for a microwave is made of transparent material as it allows energy to pass
through the container and heat the food.
Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small
metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
Round or oval dishes rather than square or 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 and do not use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2,54cm) between foil and
cavity.
See the instructions on "Materials you can use in microwave oven or to be avoided in
microwave oven". There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for
microwaving. If in doubt, you can test utensil in question following the procedure below.
