Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware. Cookware Aluminium foil Foil Containers Microwave Safe / 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. Comments Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer, e. g. Microfoil ®, follow instructions carefully. Always follow the manufacturers instructions. Be very careful as these dishes become very hot. Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, except for those with metallic decoration. Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can break or crack if heated suddenly. It is not recommended to use metal cookware as it will arc, which can lead to fire. Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour at high temperatures. It should not touch the food and must be pierced to let the steam escape. Ensure bags are suitable for microwave use. Do not use plastic or metal ties, as they may melt or catch fire due to the metal `arcing'. Only use for warming or to absorb moisture.
