severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed
cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers.
Large items like roasts must be turned over at least
once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and from
the center of the dish to the outside.
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 can not 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.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent
overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful don’t use
too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm)
between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the
correct utensils.
