Cast iron cookware
– Dishes that are cast iron and covered with enamel, such as Le Creuset®, can not be used in the microwave.
Plastic containers
– Most plastic containers are suitable for microwave use but please check before using. Do not use plastic containers to
cook food high in sugar and fat or foods that require a long cooking time. Do not use Melamine as they absorb microwave energy. Do not
cook in yogurt or margarine cartons as these will melt after conducting the heat of the food.
Paper
– Greaseproof paper can be used to lined dishes or to cover foods to stop them from splattering. A sheet of plain white absorbent
kitchen paper towel can be used for microwave cooking only e.g. covering food to prevent splattering or blind pastry. Ensure it is only used
for a short period of time and always use a fresh piece each time. Please check that the kitchen towel paper does not contain manmade
fibres and that recycled paper is suitable for microwave use. White paper plates may be used to reheat food on the microwave only setting
but only for a very short period of time. Plastic or wax coated paper cups cannot be used in the microwave as they may melt.
Wood, wicker & straw
– Do not use these items or wooden cookware in the microwave as they could ignite. Do not use on any of the
cooking settings.
Thermometers
- Only use thermometers that are approved for microwave ovens.
Utensils
– Do not use the microwave oven to heat up plates or cooking utensils.
Bottles
– Do not cook or reheat using a container with a restricted opening, such as bottles, as they may explode. Do not heat baby bottles
with the teat left on and remove if replacing the bottle back into the oven.
