Description of the product
Microwave cooking vessels
Use round vessels for cooking instead of elliptic
or rectangular vessels. Otherwise, the food that
remains on the edges will be effected more by the
microwave and edges will get overcooked.
Microwave can pass through substances such
*
as paper, plastic, glass and ceramic without pro-
ducing any heat. Cooking vessels made of such
materials can be suitable for use in cooking in
some cases.
You can employ the following method to check
*
whether the vessel you will put your food is sui-
table for microwave cooking.
Place the empty vessel with a glass full of water
on it onto the glass tray in microwave oven and
select and run Max power level for 60 seconds.
Vessels that overheat after this process should
not be used.
Metal vessels - foils
Metal vessels reflects the microwaves away from
the food. Therefore, do not use them. Aluminum
foil in small pieces or stripes can be used to cover
wings or legs, or the parts that remain on the
edge such as thin tips of the joints of poultry. Flat
cooking trays with a depth less than 1.5 cm on the
edges can also be used; however, in such cases oil
paper or stretch wrap should be used instead of
foil.
Glass vessels
Very thin glass vessels and crystal with lead con-
tent should not be used.
Plastic vessels - bags
Melamine vessels and lids as well as the bags used
for freezing or preservation should not be used.
Paper
No types of paper is suitable for cooking long
times in microwave ovens. This will cause the
paper catch fire.
