Safe kitchen implements
• Only use kitchen implements which are
suitable for use in a microwave oven.
• Most containers made from glass,
glass ceramics and oven-proof glass
are ideal for use in a microwave oven.
Even though objects made from glass
and ceramics are not normally heated
by microwaves, they can become hot
because the heat is transferred from
the food to the container. Oven gloves
should be used.
Testing the suitability of
cooking implements
• Kitchen implements must be checked
to ensure they are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
• Place the container in the microwave
oven together with a glass that is half-
full of water. Heat at (900W) (100%) for
one minute. If the container feels very
hot, it should not be used. If it is only
slightly hot, it can be used for heating,
but not for cooking. If the container is at
room temperature, it is suitable for use
in microwave ovens.
• Paper serviettes, greaseproof paper,
kitchen roll, plates, cups, cartons,
freezer film and cardboard can be used
