Suitable containers for microwave use
46
Microwaves are reflected by metal,
pass through glass, porcelain, plastic
and card,
and are absorbed by food.
Fire hazard. Non-microwave safe
dishes can suffer damage or
damage the oven if used with
Mic
rowave solo or Microwave
combination programmes.
The material and shape of the
conta
iners used affect cooking results
and times.
Heat distribution is more even in round
and oval shaped flat containers than in
rectangular containers, providing better
results.
