Containers to use

Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the
success or failure of your cooking.
Testing Dishes for Suitability - For Microwave Cooking Only.
1. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug
with 300ml ( 1 ⁄ pt) cold water.
2
2. Place it on the turntable alongside the
dish to be tested. If the dish you are
testing is a large dish, then stand the
measuring jug on top of the empty
dish.
3. Heat on HIGH power for
1 minute.
QUICK CHECK GUIDE TO COOKING UTENSILS
When unsure that a cooking container is suitable for
use in your microwave, check by the following test:
Result
If the dish is suitable for microwaving, it
will remain cool, whilst the water in the
jug will begin to feel warm. If the testing
dish feels warm, do not use as it is
obviously absorbing microwave energy.
N.B. This test does not apply to plastic or
metal based containers e.g. Le Creuset
style dishes, which should not be used
as they are cast iron covered with
enamel.
OVEN GLASS
Everyday glass that is heat resistant e.g. Pyrex
ideal for Microwave, Convection or Combination
cooking. DO NOT USE FOR GRILLING. Do not use
delicate glass or lead crystal which may crack or arc.
CHINA AND CERAMIC
Everyday glazed china, porcelain or ceramic plates,
bowls, mugs and cups can be used if they are heat
resistant. Fine bone china should only be used for
reheating for short periods. Do not use dishes with a
metal rim or pattern. Do not use jugs or mugs with
glued handles, since the glue can melt. If dishes are
heat resistant they may be used on Convection and
Combination but not directly under the Grill.
