Cookware guide

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate

the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used.

Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is

marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how

they should be used in a microwave oven.

Cooking guide

Microwaves

Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water,

fat and sugar content.

The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid

movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the

food.

Cooking

Cookware for microwave cooking:

Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum

efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium

and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as

well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.

Food suitable for microwave cooking:

Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen

vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups,

steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave

oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would

normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the

chapter with tips, techniques and hints).

Covering during cooking

To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises

as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different

ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.

Standing times

After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature

to even out within the food.
