PLASTIC

PLASTIC

Many plastic containers are designed for microwave use. Only use Tupperware® containers if they are designed for microwave use. Do not use Melamine – although it

is heat resistant it absorbs microwave energy and

scorches. Even if acontainer is microwave safe,

do not use for cooking foods high in sugar or fat. Foods that require long cooking times e.g. brown rice, should not be cooked in plastic. Never cook in margarine cartons or yoghurt pots, as these will melt with the heat from the food. Many plastics that are not heatproof for cooking are suitable for defrosting.

PAPER

Plain white absorbent kitchen paper (kitchen towel) can be used for covering blind pastry cases and for covering bacon to prevent splattering BUT FOR SHORT COOKING TIMES ONLY. NEVER RE-USE A PIECE OF KITCHEN TOWEL. ALWAYS USE A FRESH PIECE OF PAPER FOR EACH DISH.

Avoid kitchen paper containing manmade fibres. If you are using branded re-cycled kitchen towel, check first that it is recommended for microwave use. Do not use waxed or plastic coated cups or plates as the finish may melt in the oven. Greaseproof paper can be used to line the base of dishes and to cover fatty foods e.g. bacon rashers to stop them splattering. White paper plates can be used for

SHORT REHEATING TIMES.

WICKER, WOOD, STRAW BASKETS

 

 

Do not use these items in your microwave.

 

With continued use and with prolonged

 

exposure they will crack and could ignite.

 

Do not use wooden dishes in your microwave.

CLING FILM

Microwave cling film can be used for covering food that is reheated by

microwave. It is also useful for covering food to be cooked, but care should be taken to avoid the film being in direct contact with the food.

ROASTING BAGS

Roasting bags are useful when slit up one side to tent a joint for roasting by power and time. Do not use the metal twists supplied.

ALUMINIUM FOIL

Small amounts of smooth aluminium foil can be used to SHIELD joints of meat during defrosting and cooking, as the microwaves cannot pass through the foil, this prevents the parts shielded from overcooking or overdefrosting. Take care that the foil does not touch the sides or roof of the oven, as this may cause arcing and damage your oven.
