Safety Information
Do not use these in your Microwave
•
Metal objects are not to be used in the microwave. This include:
– Metal cooking utensils.
– Metal plates or trays
– Wine twist ties
– Crockery with metal trims
– Meat thermometer
•
Never use equipment made of metal, except foil in your microwave. The microwave
energy cannot pass through the metal so it bounces off and sparks against the inside of
the microwave.
•
Stop the microwave straight away if any equipment is causing sparks.
•
Remember that some crockery has a metal trim around the edge. Even this trim can cause
sparks.
Checking your Cooking Utensils
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cooking utensils are safe to use in your microwave. If you are
not sure if you can use a utensil in your microwave, follow this simple test:
1. Put the utensil into the microwave next to a cup of water – use a cup that you know
is microwave safe. Close the door.
2. Turn the microwave on for 30 seconds only.
3. After 30 seconds, carefully check to see if the water has warmed up.
4. If the water has not warmed up but the utensil has, the utensil is not microwave safe
and should not be used in the microwave.
5. Do not use your hands to touch the utensils as it may already be hot.
Containers
WARNING
:
Pressure will build up in sealed containers and can cause them to explode.
Therefore, do not use the following in your microwave:
– Sealed containers
– Capped bottles
– Vacuum containers
– Sealed jars
– Hard-boiled eggs
– Eggs in their shells
– Nuts
•
Always pierce the skin of fruit and vegetables, such as potatoes.
•
Never use scratched, cracked or damaged glass in a microwave. Damaged glass can
explode.
