Choosing the correct container is a very

important factor in deciding the success or

failure of your cooking.

Testing Dishes for Suitability

When unsure that a cooking

con tainer is suitable for use in your

microwave, check by the follow ing test:

1. Fill a microwave safe measur ing jug

with 300ml (½pt) cold water.

2. Place it on the turntable along side the

dish to be tested. If the dish you

are testing is a large dish, then stand

the measur ing jug on top of the empty

dish.

3. Heat on HIGH power for 1 minute.

 Result

If the dish is suitable for micro waving, 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 obvious ly

absorbing microwave energy.

 Note

This test does not apply to plastic or metal

based con tainers 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®, is ideal

for Microwave cooking.

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 resis tant.

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.

Pottery, earthenware,

stoneware

If completely glazed, these

dishes are suitable. Do not use

if partially glazed or unglazed,

since they are able to absorb

water which in turn absorbs

microwave energy, making the

container very hot and slows

down the cooking of food.

Foil/metal containers

NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK

IN FOIL OR METAL

con tai ners on Microwave only

as the microwaves cannot

pass through and the food will

not heat evenly, it may also

damage your oven.
