Tesco stores stock a wide range of microwave containers and  
wraps designed for microwave ovens. Plastic films should not  
touch food as they may gas, melt or break down when hot and  
contaminate food.

breakdown,meltorevencatchfire andcontaminatethefood.  
$Only defrost food in the microwave if you plan to cook the  
food immediately after it has thawed. Some areas of the food  
may begin to cook during defrosting, which can allow  
bacteria can flourish. Do not cook defrosted raw meat in a  
microwaveoven.  
$Arrange food in the dish so that the thicker part is on the  
outside and the thinner part inside for more even cooking.  
Fold under thethinedgesoffishfillets and taperedfoods.  
$6-7 minutes per 500 gr. will cook most fruit and vegetables.  
$Remove the food from the wrapping, place it on a microwave  
safe dish. Rotate and re-arrange food during defrosting.  
Where appropriate, stir the food and if possible, separate the  
food items andremovethose which havealreadydefrosted.
