Testing dishes
To check whether or not cookware is
suitable for use with microwave cooking
carry out this simple test:
1. Remove all accessories from the oven
cavity.
2. Place the cookware to be tested on the
rack inserted in the first runner.
3. Select the maximum power level (e.g.
1000W).
4. Set a cooking time of 30 seconds.
5. Start cooking.
6. At the end of the test the cookware must
be either cold or slightly warm. If the
cookware is hot then it should be
considered as unsuitable for
microwave use.
