Cookware and Utensil Guide
Metal
Metal cookware or utensils, and those with metallic trim,
should NOT be used on microwave. Since microwave
energy is reflected by metal, foods in metal containers will
not cook evenly. There is also the possibility of "arcing".
Although metal utensils must be avoided in microwave
cooking, some metal can be helpful when used correctly.
Aluminium foil can be used safely, if certain guidelines
are followed, to prevent overcooking. Small pieces of foil
are used to cover areas such as chicken wings, tips of
roasts, or other thin parts that cook before the rest of the
recipe is finished. Make sure foil is attached securely and
doesn't touch sides of oven; otherwise arcing may occur.
Foil lined containers, either cardboard or plastic, should
NOT be used in the microwave oven as arcing could
occur.
Metal twist-ties, either paper or plastic coated, should
NOT be used on Microwave or Combination.
Frozen dinner trays can be used on Microwave if the
container is no deeper than 2 cm and is filled with food.
They may be used on Convection.
Metal skewers can not be used on Microwave as arcing
may occur. Wooden skewers are readily available and
give the same result.
Shells: Scalloped baking shells are best used during
reheating and for short periods of cooking time only.
Thermometers are available for use in microwave
ovens. DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL MERCURY
TYPE CANDY OR MEAT THERMOMETERS in
food while cooking in the microwave oven or on
Combination.
Jars and Bottles
Jars and Bottles can be used to warm food to
serving temperature, if the lid is removed first.
Cooking should not be done in these containers
since most are not heat resistant and during
extended heating times, heat from food would cause
cracking or breaking.
Straw, Wicker, and Wood
Straw and wicker baskets may be used in the
microwave oven for a short period of time to warm
rolls or bread. Large wooden utensils, such as bowls
or cutting boards should NOT be used for prolonged
heating as the microwave energy may cause the
wood to become dry and brittle.
