microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Food should still be somewhat icy in the centre
when removed from the oven.
• The length of defrosting time varies according to

Utensils Guide
Microwave-Safe Utensils
•
Ovenproof Glass
: Glassware that is heat-
resistant is microwave-safe. This would include
all brands of oven tempered glass utensils.
However, do not use delicate glassware, such as
tumblers or wine glasses, as these might shatter
as the food warms.
•
Pottery Stoneware Ceramic
: Use bowls, cups,
serving plates, pottery, stoneware, ceramic, and
platters without metallic rim. Many containers
made of these materials are microwave-safe, but
test them before use.
