Plastic
Many plastic containers are designed
for microwave use, but do not use for
cooking foods high in sugar or fat or for
foods that require long cooking times
e.g. brown rice. Only use Tupperware
®
containers if they are designed for
microwave use. Do not use Melamine.
Never cook in margarine cartons or
yoghurt pots, as these will melt with the
heat from the food.
Paper
Plain white absorbent kitchen paper
(kitchen towel) can only be used for
microwave cooking e.g. covering blind
pastry cases and for cover ing bacon to
prevent splattering.
Only use for short cooking times.
Never re-use a piece of kitchen
towel. Always use a fresh piece of
paper for each dish.
Avoid kitchen paper containing
manmade bres.
If you are using branded re-cycled
paper towel, check rst that it is
recommended for microwave use. Do
not use waxed or plastic coated cups
or plates as the nish may melt.
Greaseproof paper can be used to
line the base of dishes and to cover
fatty foods e.g. bacon rashers, to stop
splattering. White paper plates can be
used for short re heating times, on
microwave only.
Wicker, Wood, Straw Baskets
Dishes will crack and could ignite.
Do not use wooden dishes in your
microwave.
Cling lm
Microwave cling lm can only be used
for covering food that is reheated by
microwave. It is also useful for covering
food to be cooked, but care should be
taken to avoid the lm being in direct
contact with the food eg. Do not line
dishes with cling lm.
Roasting Bags
Roasting bags are useful when slit up
one side to tent a joint, for roasting by
power and time. Do not use the metal
twists supplied, when using Microwave.
Aluminium Foil
Small amounts of smooth aluminium
foil can be used to shield joints of
meat during defrosting and cook ing by
Microwave, as the microwaves cannot
pass through the foil, this prevents the
parts shielded from overcook ing or
over de frost ing. Take care that the foil
does not touch the sides or roof of the
oven, as this may cause arcing and
damage your oven.
