Cooking and heating up in the microwave oven
24
Size and shape of microwave-suitable containers
Flat, broad containers are better than narrow, tall ones. “Flat” foods can be cooked
more evenly.
Round or oval containers are more suitable than angular ones. There is a danger of
local overheating in the corners.
Materials that are partially suitable
• Stoneware and ceramics. Use clay containers only for defrosting and for short
cooking times because the air and water content of the material could cause the
clay to crack or break.
• Dishes with gold or silver trim should only be used if they have been labelled
“microwave-safe” by the manufacturer.
• Never use aluminium foil in large quantities. It can however be used e.g.
in small pieces to cover sensitive parts. You can also cover the corners of
containers to prevent overcooking as the microwave energy is primarily
concentrated on the corners. Maintain a distance of 2.5 cm between the foil and
the internal wall.
• Aluminium containers (e.g. those for ready-to-serve meals) are partially
suitable, but they must be at least 3 cm high to be used in the microwave oven.
Unsuitable materials
• Metal, i.e. metal pots, pans and lids.
WARNING!

button twice.

food or dish.
