Plastic (specific for microwave ovens)
They can be used to quickly reheat food. Plastic containers should not be used for food
that requires a long time in the microwave oven, as the container could be deformed or
melt due to the temperature reached by the food.
Paper or cardboard (specific for microwave ovens)
Paper or cardboard plates and containers can be used for short cooking times and only
if the food is low in fat and moisture. Kitchen paper is also very useful for wrapping or
covering some foods. Do not use recycled paper, as it may contain impurities that could
cause electric arcs or fire.
Wood
Wooden containers or utensils crack quite easily, for this reason they should NOT be
used in the microwave oven.
Plastic bags for cooking (specific for microwave ovens)
They are suitable for use in the microwave oven as long as they are special cooking
bags. However, slit the bag a little so that the steam can escape. NEVER use ordinary
plastic bags, as these can melt.
Lids (specific for microwave ovens)
The use of glass or plastic lids designed for microwave ovens speed up heating and
prevent food from drying out. They must have holes to allow steam to escape and thus
avoid excess pressure.

HOW TO COOK IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN (BASIC PRINCIPLES)

The top of large foods, especially roasts, will cook faster than the bottom.
Therefore, it will be convenient to turn these foods several times while they are
cooking.

The heat generated by microwaves tends to dry out food, for this reason, drier
foods such as roasts and some vegetables should be covered or sprinkled with
water before cooking.

Microwave radiation in the oven is the same regardless of the amount of food being
cooked at any one time. Therefore the more food in the oven, the longer it will take
to cook it.
