UTENSILS GUIDE
 The ideal material for a microwave utensil is material which is transparent. This allows
energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
 A microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used.
 Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain
small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
 Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners
tends to overcook.
 The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils:
