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.
