 SUITABLE OVENWARE
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.
Cookware Microwave  
Safe 
Comments
Aluminium foil  Foil Containers ✔  /  ✘ 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.Foil containers are not recommended unless specifi  ed by the man- ufacturer, e.g. Microfoil ®, follow instructions carefully. 
Browning dishes ✔ Always follow the manufacturers instructions. Do not exceed heating times given. Be very careful as these dishes become very hot. 
China and ceramics ✔  /  ✘ Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually  suitable, except for those with metallic decoration. 
Glassware e.g. Pyrex ® ✔ Care should be taken if using fi  ne glassware as it can break or crack  if heated suddenly. 
Metal ✘ It is not recommended to use metal cookware as it will arc, which  can lead to fi  re. 
Plastic/Polystyrene e.g fast  food containers 
✔ Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour at  high temperatures. 
Cling fi  lm ✔ It should not touch the food and must be pierced to let the steam  escape. 
Freezer/Roasting bags ✔ Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are suitable for  microwave use. 
Paper - Plates, cups and  kitchen paper 
✔ Do not use plastic or metal ties, as they may melt or catch fi  re due  to the metal ‘arcing’. 
Straw and wooden  Containers 
✔ Only use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must be taken as overheating may cause fi  re. 
Recycled paper and  newspaper 
✘ Always attend the oven when using these materials as overheating  may cause fi  re. May contain extracts of metal which will cause ‘arcing’ and may lead to fi  re.
 WARNING: When heating food in plastic or paper containers, monitor the oven due to the possibility of  ignition.
