Containers
I f possible use round, square or oval dishes, made of porcelain, ceramic, earth-
enware or other pottery, glass or certain plastics specially designed for microwave
cooking. Normal plasticware can be used for short cooking times and for non-
fatty food. Adapt the size of your dish to the volume of food to be prepared.
In the majority of cases cover the dish with either the lid, a plate, greaseproof
paper or special microwave cling film. If you use cling film, in order to prevent burns
caused by escaping steam, do not wrap the dish so that it is airtight. If it is airtight, prick
the film once the programme is finished before removing the film.
Do not use metal dishes, or any dishes with metal, gold or silver decoration, alu-
minum foil, nor dishes made of porous clay. Remove any metal ties from freeze bags.
The use of small aluminium containers is possible but you must closely follow
the operating instructions for your microwave oven.
A quick test to see if containers can be used in the microwave :
Put the container on the turntable in the microwave with a glass of water placed inside
or alongside of it. After two minutes of heating on maximum microwave power level,
the container should be barely warm to the touch.
Do not remove dishes from the microwave with your bare hands as the containers
heat up through contact with the cooked food.
