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.

Material of container	Microwave	Notes
Heat-resistant ceramic	Yes	Never use the ceramics which are decorated with metal rim or glazed
Heat-resistant plastic	Yes	Can not be used for long time microwave cooking
Heat-resistant glass	Yes
Plastic film	Yes	It should not be used when cooking meat or chops as the over-temperature may do damage to the film
Grill rack	No
Metal container	No	It should not be used in microwave oven .Microwave can not penetrate through metal.
Iacquer	No	Poor heat-resistant. Can not be used for High-temperature cooking
Bamboo wood and paper	No	Poor heat-resistant. Can not be used for High-temperature cooking

Defrost tips

Microwave penetrates around 4cm into most food, to maximize defrosting effect, the followings are advised:

1) For thick and chunky food, turn the food regularly during operation in order to obtain uniform heating effect
2) If food is over 0.5 Kg, it is advised to turn at least 2 times
3) Defrosted food should be consumed as soon as possible, it is not advised to put back to fridge and freeze again

Cooking tips

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

Color 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
• Joints 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

Browning dish

When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.

Microwave safe plastic wrap

When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap come into contact with food as it may melt

Microwave safe plastic cookware

Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. Also, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not be exceeded
