UTENSILS GUIDELINE
It is strongly recommended to use the containers which are suitable and safe for microwave cooking. Generally speaking, the
containers which are made of heat-resistant ceramic, glass or plastic are suitable for microwave cooking. Never use the metal
containers for microwave cooking and combination cooking as spark is likely to occur. You can take the reference of below
table.
Microwave Grill Combi Notes
Heat-resistant
ceramic Yes Yes Yes Never use the ceramics which are decorated with
metal rim or glazed
Heat-resistant
plastic Yes No No Can not be used for long time microwave cooking
Heat-resistant
glass Yes Yes Yes
Plastic film Yes No No It should not be used when cooking meat or chops as
the over-temperature may do damage to the film
Grill rack No Yes Yes
Metal container No No No It should not be used in microwave oven .Microwave
can not penetrate through metal.
Lacquer No No No Poor heat-resistant. Can not be used for
High-temperature cooking
Bamboo wood
and paper No No No Poor heat-resistant. Can not be used for
High-temperature cooking
The following factors may affect the cooking result:
Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards outside of dish, the thinner part towards the centre and spread it evenly. Do not overlap if
possible.
Cooking time length
Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after it times out and extend it according to the actual need. Over cooking
may result in smoke and burns.
Cooking food evenly
Food such as chicken, hamburger or steak should be turned once during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from outside to centre of dish once or twice during cooking
Allow standing time
After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking cycle
and cooling it down in a gradual manner
Whether the food is done
Colour and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, these include:
- Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge
- oints of poultry can be moved easily
- Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood
- Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork

7.0 COOKING TIPS - CONTINUED GB IE
