combining microWavEs and ThE grill
You can also combine microwave cooking with the grill, to cook quickly and
brown at the same time.
Always use microwave-safe and oven-proof cookware. Glass or
ceramic dishes are ideal as they allow the microwaves to penetrate the
food evenly.
Always use oven gloves when touching the recipients in the oven, as
they will be very hot.

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.
