Cookware Guide

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to
penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish
used.

Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the
cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates
whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

Safe

Can be used in small quantities to
protect areas against overcooking.
Arcing can occur if the foil is too close
to the oven wall or if too much foil is
used.

Crusting plate

Do not preheat for more than
8minutes.

China and earthenware

Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware
and bone china are usually suitable,
unless deco-rated with a metal trim.

Some frozen foods are packaged in
these dishes.

Fast-food packaging

temperatures. Do not use Melamine
plas-tic.
Can be used to retain moisture. Should
not touch the food. Take care when

not be airtight. Prick with a fork, if
necessary.

Wax or grease-proof
