SUITABLE COOKWARE
To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the 
microwave energy must be able to pass through 
the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it 
is important to choose suitable cookware.
Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/
oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to 
overcook. A variety of cookware can be used as 
listed below.

Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield 
food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2cm from 
the oven walls, as arcing may occur.

specified by the manufacturer, e.g. Microfoil ®, 
follow instructions carefully.
Always follow the manufacturers instructions.

Be very careful as these dishes become very hot.
Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone 
china are usually suitable, except for those with 
metallic decoration.
Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it 
can break or crack if heated suddenly.
It is not recommended to use metal cookware as it 
will arc, which can lead to fire.
Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt 
or discolour at high temperatures.
It should not touch the food and must be pierced
