UTENSILS GUIDELINE
It is strongly recommended to use the containers which are suitable and safe for microwave cooking. Generally, 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.

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 cannot penetrate through metal.

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 to come in 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.
