UTENSILS GUIDE
1.The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
2.Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
3.Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4.Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
