Question Hi,I had tried to cook the CAKE in the plastic utensil which are provided as free starter kit with our micro wave oven also the seller told us that you can cook any thing in it, you will not have any problem for this. But when we prepared the cake in it the lid of the utensil,melted down, also I tried other cooking the utensils were melted again. What is exact cause such melt down.
Can I use our regular steel utensils to cook the food?
{while cooking these things I had used the preset cooking selection}
Answer Dear Vishwesh, it sounds like you were using convection energy to cook your cake because plastic dishes should not melt from microwave energy. Use only microwave for cakes and they will be lighter and more moist than cooking with thermal energy. Also, the free dish you received must have been an inferior plastic for it to melt from microwave energy. Use microwave proof plastic, glass, and ceramic dishes for cooking by microwave. Metal utensils can be used only when cooking by convection.
