IS IT MICROWAVE SAFE?
It is very important to only use microwave-safe materials. These days many vessels have a small icon underneath to say if it is suitable for microwaves or not.
Patterned plates or bowls may contain metal in the glaze, which can cause damage to your microwave.
Do not use metal or foil of any kind.
When using plastic or paper wrapping, check on the manufacturer’s packaging whether it is safe to use in a microwave or not.
Popping, smoking, or sparking is a sure indicator that your micro-wave doesn’t like the material in the oven cavity. Whenever this happens, switch off the microwave and remove the oven contents after they have cooled.

Cooking Tips
The following factors may affect the cooking result:
Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards outside of the 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. Overcooking 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 center of dish once or twice during cooking
Allow standing time
After the cooking time ends, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cools it down in a gradual manner
Whether the food is done. Colour 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 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
