–
are absorbed by the food.Material and shape
The material and shape of containers
used affect cooking results and times.
Circular and oval containers work best.
The food will heat more evenly than in a
square container.
Container and lids which contain
hollow handles or knobs are not
suitable for use in the microwave.

moisture if not adequately vented.

Plastic
When purchasing plasticware, be
sure it is suitable for use in a
microwave.
It must be heat resistant up to 230°F
(110°C) otherwise the plastic may
melt into the food. Otherwise the
plastic may melt.
Special plasticware, designed for use
in microwaves is available in retail
outlets.
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and reheating.
They should be pierced beforehand
so that steam can escape. This
prevents a build-up of pressure and
reduces the risk of the bag bursting.
Do not use metal...

Covering the food
Plastics are only heat-resistant up to
230°F (110°C). Higher temperatures
can cause the cover to melt into the
food.
The cover should not completely
seal the container. This may prevent
steam from escaping causing the
cover to melt.
The cover:
–prevents most of the steam from
escaping, especially when cooking
foods which needs longer to cook,
such as potatoes.
– shortens and evens out the cooking
process.
– prevents the food from drying out.
– prevents soiling of the microwave...
