Containers to Use

Glass that is heat
resistant e.g. Pyrex , is
®
ideal. DO NOT USE FOR
GRILLING.
Do not use delicate glass
which may crack due to
the heat from the food. Do
not use lead crystal which
may crack or arc.
Glazed china plates,
saucers, bowls, mugs and
cups can be used if they
are heat resistant.
Porcelain and ceramic
are also ideal. Fine bone
china should only be used
for reheating for short
periods, otherwise the
change in temperature
may crack the dish or
craze the finish. Do not
use dishes with a metal
rim or pattern. Do not use
jugs or mugs with glued
handles, since the glue
can melt in a microwave.
POTTERY, EARTHENWARE, STONEWARE
Only use if completely
glazed. Do not use
if partially glazed or
unglazed, as they are able
to absorb water which will
absorb microwave energy,
making the container very
hot and slowing down the
cooking of food.
FOIL/METAL CONTAINERS
NEVER ATTEMPT TO
COOK IN FOIL OR
METAL containers – the
microwaves cannot pass
through and the food will
not heat evenly – this may
also damage your oven.
Use wooden kebab sticks
instead of metal skewers.
