Cookware and Utensil Guide
Metal
Metal cookware or utensils, and those with metallic trim,
should NOT be used on microwave . Since microwave
energy is reflected by metal, foods in metal containers will
not cook evenly . There is also the possibility of "arcing" .
Although metal utensils must be avoided in microwave
cooking, some metal can be helpful when used correctly .
Aluminium foil can be used safely, if certain guidelines
are followed, to prevent overcooking . Small pieces of foil
are used to cover areas such as chicken wings, tips of
roasts, or other thin parts that cook before the rest of the
recipe is finished . Make sure foil is attached securely and
doesn't touch sides of oven; otherwise arcing may occur .
Foil lined containers, either cardboard or plastic, should
NOT be used in the microwave oven as arcing could
occur .
Metal twist-ties, either paper or plastic coated, should
NOT be used on Microwave or Combination .
Frozen dinner trays can be used on Microwave if the
container is no deeper than 2 cm and is filled with food .
They may be used on Convection .
Metal skewers can not be used on Microwave as arcing
may occur . Wooden skewers are readily available and
give the same result .
Shells: Scalloped baking shells are best used during
reheating and for short periods of cooking time only .
Thermometers are available for use in microwave
ovens . DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL MERCURY
TYPE CANDY OR MEAT THERMOMETERS in
food while cooking in the microwave oven or on
Combination .
Jars and Bottles
Jars and Bottles can be used to warm food to
serving temperature, if the lid is removed first .
Cooking should not be done in these containers
since most are not heat resistant and during
extended heating times, heat from food would cause
cracking or breaking .
Straw, Wicker, and Wood
Straw and wicker baskets may be used in the
microwave oven for a short period of time to warm
rolls or bread . Large wooden utensils, such as bowls
or cutting boards should NOT be used for prolonged
heating as the microwave energy may cause the
wood to become dry and brittle .
