do not use these in your microwave
• Metal objects are not to be used in the microwave. These include:
- Metal cooking utensils
- Metal plates or trays
- Wire twist ties
- Crockery with metal trims
- Meat thermometer
• Never use equipment made of metal, except aluminium foil in your
microwave. The microwave energy cannot pass through metal so it
bounces off and sparks against the inside of the microwave.
• Stop the microwave straight away if any equipment is causing sparks.
• Remember that some crockery has a metal trim around the edge. Even
this trim can cause sparks.
