[. . . ] Cookware Aluminium foil Foil Containers Microwave Safe / Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. Comments Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from overheating. Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer, e. g. Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, except for those with metallic decoration. Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can break or crack if heated suddenly. It is not recommended to use metal cookware as it will arc, which can lead to fire. Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour at high temperatures. It should not touch the food and must be pierced to let the steam escape. Do not use plastic or metal ties, as they may melt or catch fire due to the metal `arcing'. Always attend the oven when using these materials as overheating may cause fire. May contain extracts of metal which will cause `arcing' and may lead to fire. Browning dishes China and ceramics / Glassware e. g.

It is a simple proccess but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted. Rearrange Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than foods in the centre. It is therefore essential that the food is rearranged up to 4 times during defrosting. Move closely packed pieces from the outside to the centre and rearrange over-lapping areas. It is important to separate foods as soon as it is possible during defrosting. To prevent them becoming warmer and starting to cook, these areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves. Defrosting is not complete once the food is removed from the microwave oven. Food must stand, covered, for a length of time to ensure the centre has completly defrosted. It is essential that all foods are turned over at least 3 - 4 times during defrosting. This is important to ensure thorough defrosting. Separate Shield Stand Turn over NOTES: · Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting. · To defrost food, use microwave power levels MEDIUM LOW or LOW.
