IMPORTANT - COOKWARE NOT TO USE IN YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
- Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal handles.
- Do not use anything with metal trim.
- Do not use paper covered wire twist-ties on plastic bags.
- Do not use melamine dishes as they contain a material which will absorb
microwave energy. This may cause the dishes to crack or char and will slow
down the cooking speed.
- Do not use Centura Tableware. The glaze is not suitable for microwave use.
Corelle Livingware closed handle cups should not be used.
- Do not cook in a container with a restricted opening, such as a pop bottle or
salaed oil bottle, as they may explode if heated in a microwave oven.
- Do not use conventional meat or candy thermometers. There are the
thermometers available specifically for microwave cooking. These may be used.
11. Microwave utensils should be used only in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions.
12. Do not attempt to deep-fry foods in this oven.
13. Please remember that a microwave oven only heats the liquid in a container
rather than the container itself. Therefore, even though the lid of a container is
not hot to the touch when removed from the oven, please remember that the
food/liquid inside will be releasing the same amount of steam and/or spitting
when the lid is removed as in conventional cooking.
14. Always test the temperature of cooked food yourself especially if you are
heating or cooking food/liquid for babies. It is advisable never to consume
food/liquid straight from the oven but allow it to stand for a few minutes and
stir food/liquid to distribute heat evenly.
15. Food containing a mixture of fat and water, e.g.stock,should stand for 30-60
seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to
settle and to prevent bubbling when a spoon is placed in the food/liquid or a
stock cube is added.
16. When preparing/cooking food/liquid and remember that there are certain
foods, e.g. Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat, which heat up very
quickly. When heating or cooking foods with a high fat or sugar content do not
use plastic containers.
17. Cooking utensil may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated
food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and
handles of the utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.
