CAUTION!
There are a number of accessories available on the market.
Before you buy, make sure they are suitable for microwave
use.
When you put food in the microwave oven, make sure that
food, food supports or covering do not come in direct contact
with any of the internal walls or the ceiling of the cavity.
Which utensils can be used in the oven?
Utensils and cooking containers used in a microwave oven
should be of a material that allows microwaves to pass freely
through them. Generally this means that you should cook in either
(paper), plastic, glass or ceramic.
Utensils made of china and ceramic are excellent to use in your
microwave oven. Most types of glass are also very good. Lead
crystal glass can crack and should therefore, not be used.
Coloured glass or glass with decorations shall be avoided since
metal e.g. gold, might be part of the decoration and such
decorations will be damaged.
Plastics and paper can also be used, provided they can
withstand the temperature of the heated food. For cooking only
use plastics, which will withstand a temperature of over 120 °C.
Some plastic materials, e.g. melamine, will be heated by the
microwaves, and be damaged.
Round or oval shapes give the most even cooking. Square or
rectangular containers may over-cook foods in the corners
because more energy is absorbed there. Shallow containers give
more even cooking results.
Metal containers, e.g. saucepans or frying pans should not be
used in microwave ovens.
Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any
metal object in the oven just as they bounce off the metal walls of
the oven and cause "arcing", a phenomenon that resembles
lightning.
Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used, but only to shield
the areas that would over-cook (e.g. for covering chicken wings,
leg tips and fish tails) but the foil must not touch the side of the
oven as arcing (damage) may occur.
To find out if a certain container is
suitable, the following simple test can
be made:
Place the empty container and a glass of
water inside the microwave oven. The
water is needed because the oven must
not be operated empty or with empty
containers. Let the oven work on full power for one minute.
A suitable container will only be lukewarm.
Aluminium foil containers and microwaves
It is now possible to use disposable aluminium foil containers in
this new generation of microwave ovens, providing these simple
rules are followed:
* Always remove foil-laminated fibre board lid from the container
before heating, otherwise oven damage can occur.
* Only undamaged foil containers may be used.
* Aluminium foil containers with a height exceeding 3 cm should
be avoided and the container must be at least 2/3 full.
* There must be a minimum of 1 cm between the aluminium foil
container and the walls of the oven, to avoid sparking.
* Aluminium foil containers should always be used singly in a
microwave oven, and placed on the glass turn-table provided.
* Follow the instructions provided by the food producer to ensure
thorough heating of the food product throughout.
* If you are using a foil container for self produced foods they
may take longer to heat than when using plastic, glass,
porcelain or paper containers. Always ensure the food is piping
hot (minimum 72 °C) before serving.
A useful tip is to place the foil container in a heat resisting glass
or plastic bowl, adding some hot water (not more than 1 cm
deep) to provide heating for the foil container base. Stir if
appropriate or let the food stand for 2-3 minutes after heating, to
assist heat distribution within the container.
