Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Note: Although some ovenproof earth- enware can be used in a microwave oven, it may contain a considerable amount of moisture, causing it to become hot during use. It is normally advisable to avoid using it in a micro- wave oven.

If any doubt exists about the suita- bility of containers, please contact the maker.

This test cannot be used to check whether items with hollow knobs or handles are suitable for use in a micro- wave oven.

A cover

–prevents too much steam escaping, especially when cooking foodstuffs which need longer to cook, such as potatoes.

–shortens and evens out the cooking process.

–keeps the oven interior cleaner.

–prevents food from drying out.

–contains the aroma.

Always use lids or covers made of microwave-safe glass or plastic, or use a clingfilm recommended for use in a microwave oven, (pierce as instructed by the producer).

Sealed glass containers, such as jars of food, must be opened before they are placed in the oven.

Do not use a lid or cover if:

–food coated with breadcrumbs is being cooked.

–cooking meals which are to be given a crisp finish.
