Assessing if the Food is Fully Cooked:
The colour and firmness of food help to determine whether it is done.
The following signs show that the food is ready:
• Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge.
• Joints of poultry can be moved easily.
• Pork or poultry show no signs of blood.
• Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork.
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:
Material

Safe
Notes
Heat-resistant
ceramic
Yes
Never use ceramics that are decorated with a metal rim or
glazed.
Heat-resistant
plastic
Yes
Cannot be used for extended periods of time when micro-
wave cooking.
Heat-resistant glass Yes Never use glass that has a decorated metal rim.
Plastic film Yes
Not to be used when cooking meat or chops, as, the high

penetrate through metal. Microwaving with a metal
container can result in fire.

cooking.

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 the 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.
