Quick Check Guide to Cooking Utensils
Testing Dishes for Suitability -
For Microwave Cooking Only.
When unsure that a cooking
container is suitable for use in
your microwave, check by the
following test:
1. Fill a microwave safe measuring
jug with 300 ml cold water.
2. Place it on the base of the oven
along side 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 Microwave
(1000 W) for 1 minute.
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.
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.

Note
Choosing the correct
container is a very
important factor in
deciding the success
or failure of your
cooking.
