Covering your food

Mrs Hardy phoned the advice line today with a query about what to use when covering her food in microwave cooking. We advised her to cover food with pierced cling film suitable for microwave use. She then asked how would she know if it was microwave safe? Most manufacturers do state on the box whether the cling film is suitable for microwave cooking. Do not line dishes with cling film or use when cooking by combination, convection or grill. Alternatively a self fitting lid with a vent can be used.
