Foil/Metal Containers
NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN FOIL OR
METAL con tai ners on Microwave only as the
microwaves cannot pass through and the food
will not heat evenly, it may also damage your
oven. Foil and metal containers can be used
on grill and convection modes and may be
used with care during certain combination
cooking as long as they are not damaged or
dented.
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. If heatproof they can be
used for Convection or Combination cooking.
DO NOT USE UNDER THE GRILL.
Containers to use
✔
✘
Pottery, Earthenware,
Stoneware
If completely glazed, these dishes
are suitable. Do not use if partially
glazed or unglazed, since they are
able to absorb water which in turn
absorbs microwave energy, making
the container very hot and slows
down the cooking of food.
