Microwave tips • Water, sugar and fat absorb microwaves quickly –which results in hot spots or uneven cooking. • Microwaves are always released at full power but can only penetrate 1 or 2 inches • Some plastic containers contain chemicals that could be released in microwave cooking. • Paper is the best choice but make sure it is not recycled paper because it could contain metal particles.
