Microwave operation When purchasing plastic dishware, make sure that it is suitable for use in a microwave oven. - Wooden dishes Water contained in wood evaporates during the cooking process. This causes the wood to dry and crack. Testing dishware Unsuitable dishware can cause sparks or crackling noises during microwave operation. If you are not sure whether glass, porcelain, or stoneware dishware is suitable, test it. This test cannot be used to check whether items with hollow grips or handles are suitable for use.  Place the empty dishware on the turntable.  Close the door.  Set the microwave power level to  (900 W) and the cooking duration to 30 seconds.  Start the process.  Observe the dishware during the entire duration.  Immediately open the door if there are sparks or crackling noises. If there are sparks or if you can hear crackling noises, the tested dishware is not suitable for microwave use. Cover Tip: Covers are available from retail outlets. - A cover prevents too much steam escaping, especially when cooking foods which need longer to cook. - It speeds up the process of heating the food. - It prevents food from drying out. - It helps keep the oven compartment clean.  When cooking in the microwave, use a microwave-safe cover made of glass or plastic. Tip: Alternatively, use a cling film suitable for use in a microwave oven. Heat can cause normal cling film to melt and fuse with the food. The cover should not form a seal with the container. If the container has a narrow diameter, the steam may not be able to escape. The cover could get too hot and start to melt. Use containers with a sufficiently large diameter.  Do not use a cover for heating or reheating the following types of food: - Food coated in breadcrumbs - Food which requires a crisp finish, e.g., toast 35
