Utensils guideline:
It is strongly recommended to only use containers which are suitable and safe for
microwave cooking. Generally speaking, containers made of heat-resistant ceramic,
glass or plastic are suitable for microwave cooking. Never use metal containers
for microwave cooking and combination cooking as sparks are likely to occur and
there is a risk of fire or injury. When cooking microwave meals, always check the
packaging to see which parts are microwave safe. Use the below table as reference:
CAUTION:
There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy,
make sure they are suitable for microwave use. When you put food into the
microwave, ensure that the food supports and/or covering do not come in
direct contact with any of the internal walls or the ceiling of the cavity since
discolouration may take place.
Some plastics are heat-proof only up to certain temperatures. Check carefully!
Always remove the lids of jars and containers, including takeaway food containers,
before putting them in your microwave. If the lids are not removed, steam and
pressure can build up inside and cause an explosion even after microwave cooking
has stopped.
Do not use straight sided containers with narrow necks when heating liquid. Use
extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensils into the container.
