Suitable containers for microwave ovens

– Pieces of aluminium foil

Earthenware

For even defrosting and to avoid overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of aluminium foil may be used to mask wingtips or other thin parts for the last few minutes of the programme.

Make sure that the aluminium foil is at least 2 cm from the oven walls at all times. It must not touch the walls.

– Metal meat skewers or clamps

These should only be used if they are very small in comparison to the size of the cut of meat.

Glassware

Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass are ideal for use in the microwave oven.

Crystal glass is unsuitable as it contains lead which could cause the glass to crack in the microwave.

Porcelain

Porcelain is a suitable material.

Do not use porcelain with gold or silver edging or items with hollow knobs or handles, as insufficient ventilation may cause pressure.

Decorated earthenware is only suitable if the decoration is beneath an all-over glaze.

Earthenware can get very hot, and may crack.

Glazes and colours

Some glazes and colours contain metals which make them unsuitable for use in a microwave oven.

Wood

Wooden dishes are not suitable. Moisture contained in the wood evaporates when exposed to microwave energy, causing the wood to dry and crack.

Plastics

When purchasing plasticware, make sure that it is suitable for use in a microwave oven.

They must be heat-resistant to a minimum of 110°C. Otherwise the plastic may melt and fuse with the food.

Special plastic utensils designed for use in microwave ovens are available from good retail outlets.

Melamine is not suitable for use in this as it absorbs microwave energy and gets hot.
