Microwave cooking is very quick and efficient. Microwave
cooking can also help preserve the minerals and vitamins in
manyfoods.

Because the temperature in a microwave oven is relatively cool
(unlike a normal oven) you have to remember that the food can
be extremely hot. Always take precautions when handling
containers.
:
Use heatresistant porcelain, glass or plasticcontainers made for
microwave ovens, otherwise there is a risk of shrinking,
deforming or burning. Metal containers, or containers having
metal decoration or trim are not suitable for use with your
microwaveoven.
When you are combination cooking, the container must be fully
heatproofaswellassuitableformicrowavecooking.

Tesco stores stock a wide range of microwave containers and
wraps designed for microwave ovens. Plastic films should not
touch food as they may gas, melt or break down when hot and
contaminatefood.
Wax paper, oven cooking bags, parchment paper and white
microwave paper towels are safe for microwave use. Wooden
objectsmaycatchfire-soavoidtheiruse.
Do not use aluminium foil for microwave cooking unless the
recipe requires it. Keep foil at least 25mm away from the oven
walls. Metal skewers, ties, etc. should be removed from food
beforecooking.
