Containers to use
1. Fill a microwave safe measur ing jug
with 300ml (
1
⁄
2
pt) cold water.
2. Place it on the base of the oven
along side the dish to be tested. If the
dish you are testing is a large dish,
then stand the measur ing jug on top
of the empty dish.
3. Heat on HIGH power for
1 minute.
Result
If the dish is suitable for micro waving, it
will remain cool, whilst the water in the
jug will begin to feel warm. If the testing
dish feels warm, do not use as it is
obvious ly absorbing microwave energy.
N.B. This test does not apply to plastic or
metal based con tainers e.g. Le Creuset
®
style dishes, which should not be used
as they are cast iron covered with
enamel.
Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the
success or failure of your cooking.
Testing Dishes for Suitability - For Microwave Cooking Only.
When unsure that a cooking con tainer is suitable for
use in your microwave, check by the follow ing test:
OVEN GLASS
Everyday glass that is heat resistant e.g. Pyrex
®
, is
ideal for Microwave, Convection, Grill or Combination
cooking. Do not use delicate glass or lead crystal which
may crack or arc.
CHINA AND CERAMIC
Everyday glazed china, porcelain or ceramic plates,
bowls, mugs and cups can be used if they are heat
resis tant. Fine bone china should only be used for
reheating for short periods. Do not use dishes with a
metal rim or pattern. Do not use jugs or mugs with
glued handles, since the glue can melt. If dishes are
heat resistant they may be used on Convection and
Combination but not directly under the Grill.
