Plastic

Many plastic containers are 

designed for microwave use, 

but do not use for cooking 

foods high in sugar or fat or 

for foods that require long 

cooking times e.g. brown 

rice. Only use Tupperware

®

 

containers if they are 

designed for microwave use.
Do not use Melamine. Never 

cook in margarine cartons or 

yoghurt pots, as these will 

melt with the heat from the 

food. If heatproof they can be 

used for Oven or Combination 

cooking. Do not use under 

Paper

Plain white absorbent kitchen 

paper (kitchen towel) can only 

be used for microwave  

cooking e.g. for covering 

bacon to prevent splattering.

use a fresh piece of paper for each dish.
Avoid kitchen paper containing manmade 

fibres.
If you are using branded re-cycled kitchen 

towel, check first that it is recommended for 

microwave use. Do not use waxed or plastic 

coated cups or plates as the finish may 

melt. Greaseproof paper can be used to line 

the base of dishes and to cover when blind 

baking pastry cases. White paper plates 

can be used for short reheating times, on 

Microwave only.

Cling film

Microwave cling film can only 

be used for covering food that 

is reheated by microwave. 

It is also useful for covering 

food to be cooked, but care 

should be taken to avoid the 

film being in direct contact 

with the food eg. Do not line 

dishes with cling film. Do not 

Aluminium foil

Small amounts of smooth 

aluminium foil can be used to 

shield joints of meat during 

defrosting and cooking by 

Microwave, as the microwaves 

cannot pass through the 

foil, this prevents the parts 

shielded from overcooking 

or over defrosting. Take care 

that the foil does not touch 

the sides or roof of the oven, 

as this may cause arcing and 

damage your oven. Aluminium 

foil can be used for Oven 

cooking.

Roasting bags

Roasting bags are useful 

when slit up one side to 

tent a joint, for roasting by 

power and time. Do not use 

the metal twists supplied, 

when using Microwave or 

Combination.
