The metal reflects the microwaves, hindering the cooking process. ­ pass through glass, porcelain, plastic and card, ­ and are absorbed by food. 39 Suitable containers for microwave ovens Exceptions: ­ If recommended by the producer, pre-cooked meals in aluminium foil containers can be defrosted and reheated in the appliance using microwave power. However, as food is only heated from the top it is better to remove the food from the aluminium foil container and transfer it to a dish suitable for a microwave oven. Do not place aluminium foil containers on the metal rack as this can cause arcing to occur and damage the oven. ­ For even defrosting and to avoid overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of aluminium foil may be used to mask wing-tips or other thin parts for the last few minutes of the process. Make sure that the aluminium foil is at least 2 cm from the oven walls at all times. ­ Metal meat skewers or clamps should only be used if they are very small in comparison to the size of the cut of meat. Glassware Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass are ideal for use in the microwave oven. Do not use porcelain with gold or silver edging or items with hollow knobs or handles, as insufficient ventilation may cause pressure. Earthenware Decorated earthenware is only suitable if the decoration is beneath an all-over glaze. Glazes and colours Some glazes and colours contain metals which make them unsuitable for use in a microwave oven. The combi rack supplied with the appliance is suitable for use with microwave power. The rack can get hot. 40 Suitable containers for microwave ovens Plastics Plastics must only be used with Microwave Solo. Special plastic utensils designed for use in microwave ovens are available from good retail outlets. When purchasing plasticware, make sure that it is suitable for use in a microwave oven. This prevents a build-up of pressure and reduces the risk of the bag bursting. Roasting bags and tubes Roasting tubes should be about 40 cm longer and roasting bags about 20 cm longer than the food being roasted, and carefully tied with string. The bag should be pierced according to the manufacturer's instructions. Do not use metal clips, plastic clips containing metal parts or paper ties containing wire. Moisture contained in the wood evaporates when exposed to microwave energy, causing the wood to dry and crack. Disposable containers Only those plastic disposable containers which are specified by the manufacturer as suitable for use in a microwave oven may be used. Disposable containers, such as trays made from polystyrene, can only be used for very short timed warming and reheating of food. Do not leave the oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials. [. . . ] Group 2 appliances use high frequency energy in the form of electro-magnetic waves to create heat in food. Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363 The fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug, (as applicable to the design of plug fitted). Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS 1362 and have the correct rating. [. . . ]
