to resume the defrost
cycle.
NOTE
• Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its
original wrapping paper or plastic package.
Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice
close to the foods, which can cause the outer
surface of the foods to cook.
• Place foods in a shallow container or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Food should still be somewhat icy in the centre
when removed from the oven.
• The length of defrosting time varies according to
how solidly the food is frozen.
• The shape of the package affects how quickly
food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost
more quickly than a deep block.
• Depending on the shape of the food can be
defrosted more or less.

Utensils Guide
Microwave-Safe Utensils
•
Ovenproof Glass
: Glassware that is heat-
resistant is microwave-safe. This would include
all brands of oven tempered glass utensils.
However, do not use delicate glassware, such as
tumblers or wine glasses, as these might shatter
as the food warms.
•
Pottery Stoneware Ceramic
: Use bowls, cups,
serving plates, pottery, stoneware, ceramic, and
platters without metallic rim. Many containers
made of these materials are microwave-safe, but
test them before use.
•
Plastic
-
Plastic Storage Containers
: These can be
used to hold foods that are to be quickly
reheated. However, they should not be used
to hold foods that will need considerable time
in the oven as hot foods will eventually warp
or melt plastic containers.
-
Plastic Cooking Bags
: Provided they are
specially made for cooking, cooking bags are
microwave safe. Remember to make a slit in
the bag so that steam can escape. Never use
ordinary plastic bags for cooking in the
microwave oven, as they will melt and rupture.
-
Plastic Microwave Utensils
: A variety of
shapes and sizes of microwave utensils are
available. You may be able to use items you
already have on hand rather than investing in
new kitchen equipment.
•
Paper
: Use paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins, and paper plates with no metallic rim or
design. Paper plates and containers are
convenient and safe to use in the microwave
oven, provided that the cooking time is short and
foods to be cooked are low in fat and moisture.
Paper towels are also very useful for wrapping
