MATERIALS YOU CAN USE IN THIS MICROWAVE OVEN
NOTE: Always try to use items labelled as microwave safe to minimise any uncertainty.
Aluminium foil
Shielding only. Use only small amounts of foil to wrap or cover thinner sections of meat
or poultry, for example, the small end of a shank or the wings of a chicken, to prevent
overcooking. Ensure the foil is securely attached to the item being shielded and fold all edges
and corners down neatly to prevent possible arcing. Sparks can occur if foil is too close to
oven walls. The foil must be at least 2.5cm (1 inch) away from oven walls.
Browning dish
Follow browning dish manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: An overly hot browning dish sitting directly on the glass turntable could cause
the turntable to break!
Dinnerware
Microwave-safe only. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped
dishes.
Glassware
Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim. Do not use cracked or
chipped dishes. Confirm glassware is heat-resistant before using in the microwave.
Oven cooking bags
Follow manufacturer's instructions. Do not close with metal tie. Make slits to allow steam to
escape.
Paper plates and cups
Use for short–term cooking/warming only. Do not leave oven unattended while cooking. Do
not place waxed or recycled paper items in the microwave.
Paper towels
Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. For short-term cooking only. Do not leave
unattended while cooking.
Parchment paper
Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.
Plastic
Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Should be labelled "Microwave
Safe". Some plastic containers soften as the food inside gets hot. "Boiling bags" and tightly
closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package.
Plastic wrap
Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture.
Thermometers
Microwave-safe only (meat and candy thermometers).
