Safety Instructions

Utensil safety

Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resi- stant glassware utensils are excellent for use in the microwave oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food to the container. Use oven glo- ves to remove dishes.

Testing suitability of cookware

Place the cookware in the microwave along with a glass half full of water. Heat on 900W (100%) for one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is at room temperature, it is suitable for microwave cooking.

Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates, cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are great convenience utensils. Always be sure containers are filled with food to absorb energy and thus avoid the possibility of overheating.

Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar content since these foods reach high temperatures and could melt some plastics.

Do not leave the oven unattended when heating or cooking food in plastic, paper or other combustible containers.

Metal containers and containers with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven, unless specifically

recommended for microwave use.

Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles, should not be used for microwave cooking.

Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a dish to avoid steam burns.

Foil containers

Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat foods in your microwave oven pro- viding the following rules are observed:

1.Foil containers should not be more than 3 cm (1¼”) deep.

2.Foil lids must not be used.

3.The foil containers must be at least two- thirds full of food. Empty containers must never be used.

4.Foil containers should be used singly in the microwave oven and should not be allowed to touch the sides. If your oven has a metal turntable or cooking rack, the foil container should be placed on an upturned ovenproof plate.

5.Foil containers should never be re-used in the microwave oven.

6.If the microwave oven has been in use for 15 minutes or more, allow it to cool befo- re using it again.

7.The container and turntable may beco- me hot during use, take great care when removing either from the oven. It is advi- sable to use an oven cloth or glove when doing so.

8.Remember when using an aluminium foil container that the reheating or cooking times may be longer than those you are used to, always ensure that the food is piping hot before serving.
