It is seen that many among us spending big bucks on new set of dishes or ovenware to use in microwave oven. Most of the kitchens are stocked with glass dishes, earthen ware crocks, firm plastic bowl, paper and cardboard or basket ware that can be used in the microwave ovens.Glass dishes with metallic gold or silver trims are not suitable for usage in micro wave ovens as they may spark if placed in the oven. Metal dishes, pans, thermometers,

Metal skewers or foil trays are also unsuitable for oven. Plastic with a labelling ‘dishwasher safe’ is often also microwave safe. Canned food is not supposed to be heated in the can. If using a foil take care that it is not touching the bottom, top or sides of a microwave oven.

What’s Safe?

If looking for safety options. Then heat proof glass and ceramic bowls are good options. So is heavy pottery or chinaware, subject to the restrictions mentioned earlier.  Corningware or Pyrex are commonly used in microwave ovens. Heavy-duty plastic ’speciality’ microwave cookware is an excellent option for microwave cooking and roasting. Heavy-duty Tupperware is suitable, but not the softer plastics. Melamine contains metal and must be avoided.

Plastic freezer bags are good containers for vegetable cooking, like spinach or peas in the freezer bag containers. Metal ties are a big no-no in microwave oven.
Paper towels can be used in variety of ways. It can used to prevent rice or meat splatters, and in between bacon slices to absorb liquid or crisp it and steamed food can be re-steamed using a damp dishcloth wrapped over the food to provide the required moisture. Styrofoam cups are fine once but not re-used as the high temperatures of liquids may melt these cups. If taken care of these points, the cooking in micro wave oven can be a fine experience.
