that can be used inside a microwave oven?,

hi,ranu madam
Here i'm suggesting some points to answer your question about cooking utensils.
Cooking utensils
Ovenware treated for high- intensity heat such as bowls,

cake dishes and also bags, film, paper towels, practically

any material can be used except metal. But metal can be

used for the convection mode. Metallic dishes should not

be also used in the combination mode. Pottery and plastic

ware declared microwave-safe could be used in the common

microwave oven.

Ceramic wares can also be used but make sure that they

don't have any metallic rim as they may cause arcing. Food

items containing high proportion of fat and sugar should

not be used in glass utensils, otherwise they can be used

commonly.

Melmoware and melamine wares are to be avoided; paper

towels, greaseproof paper and cardboard can also be used

provided they don't have any staple pins in them. Wood

items can be used in the micro-oven but not for a long

time.

Container shapes
This is an important factor to be noted. Dishes must be ½

or ¾ filled depending on the liquid content of the food.

If the dish is too small, the food will boil over and if

the dish is too large the thick curry will spread out and

overcook. Shallow vessels make cooking faster. Cakes,

chicken, meat and rice dishes cook well in large bottomed

vessels while round dishes are ideal for cooking

vegetables and curry dishes.

THE STANDARD PERMITTED VESSELS IN THE MICRO WAVE MODE ARE NON PLATED CERAMIC VESSELS OR MICRO WAVE PROOF GLASS VESSELS.
