is transparent to microwave, it allows
energy to pass through the container and
heat the food
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so
metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used
3. Do not use recycled paper products when
microwave cooking, as they may contain
small metal fragments which may cause
sparks and/or fires
4. Round/oval dishes rather than
square/oblong ones are recommend, as
food in corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used
to prevent overcooking of exposed areas.

keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm)
between foil and cavity.
