cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items
like roasts must be turned over at least once.

both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the
outside.
COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE
1. Microwave cannot penetrate metal. Only use utensils that are
suitable for use in microwave ovens. Metallic containers for food
and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking. This
requirement is not applicable if the manufacturer specifies size
and shape of metallic containers suitable for microwave cooking.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes
with metallic trim should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as
they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks
and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are
recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent
overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful don't use too much
and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
