MICROWAVE COOKING UTENSILS

You can test your cooking utensils to see whether they are microproof or not. Do this simple test. Put a glass half full of water in the microwave oven. Place it on top of or next to the dish. Microwave for one minute at full power. If the water becomes hot, the dish is microwave-safe. If on the otherhand, the dish is warm or hot, this means that the dish has been absorbing microwave energy, and should

not be used in the microwave oven.

For most oven cooking, a round dish is preferable to oval or rectangular dishes, because food cooked in corners allow more exposure to microwaves. Over cooking at comers may occur.

There are also a number of cooking utensils designed for microwave cooking on sale in the market. Always check manufacturers’ instructions.
