•
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in a microwave oven.
•
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glass- ware utensils are excellent for use in the micro- wave oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items, th ese utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food to the container. The use of oven glo ves to remove dishes is recommen d ed.
Testing suitability of cookw are
•
Utensils should be check e d to ensure they are suitable for use in Microwave Ovens.
•
Place the cookware in the microwave along with a glass half full of wa te r. H eat on one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is room temperature, it is suitable for microwave cooking.
•
Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates, cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are great convenience utensils. Always be s ure containers are filled with food to absorb energy and thus avoid the possib ility of overheating or ignitio n .

Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar content since these foods reach high temperatures and co uld melt some plastics.
Do not leave oven unattended, and look at it from time to time when heating or cooking food in plastic, paper or other combustible containers. Metal utensils and u tensils with metallic trim sh ould not be used in the microwave oven, unless specifically recommended for microwave use.
Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles, should not be used for microwave cooking.
Use caution when removing a lid or co ve r from a dish to avoid steam burns.

1. Foil containers should not be more than 3 cms (1 1/4”) deep.
2. Foil lids must not be used.
3. The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full of food. Empty containers must never be used.
4. Foil containers should be used singly in t he microwave oven and should not be allowed to touch the sides. If your oven has a me tal turntable or cooking rack, the foil container should be placed on an upturned oven-proof plate.
5. Foil containers should never be re-used in th e microwave oven.
6. If the microwave oven ha s been in use for 15 minutes or more, allow it to cool before using it again.
7. The container and turntable may become hot during use, take great care when removing either from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth or glove when doing so.

whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars – may explode and should not be heated in this oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may explode during cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then cover and allow the standing time of one minute before removing cover.
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the door, or for misting to occur on the
door, or even for water droplets to appear below the door during the cooking cycle. This is merely condensation from the heat of the food and does not affect the safety of your oven. The door is not intended to seal the oven cavity completely.
