SUITABLE OVENWARE
To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass
through the container to penetrate the food.
Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware.
Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to
overcook. A variety of cookware can be used as listed below.

WARNING:
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, monitor the oven due to the pos-
sibility of ignition.
