Microwave
Microwaves are converted to heat in foodstuffs. The
microwave function can be used "solo", i.e. on its own,
or in combination with the full surface grill.
Note:
In the
Tables and tips
section, you will find examples
for defrosting, heating and dough proving with the
microwave oven.
Notes regarding ovenware
Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of
glass, glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-
resistant plastic. These materials allow microwaves to
pass through. You can also use serving dishes. This
saves you having to transfer food from one dish to
another. You should only use ovenware with decorative
gold or silver trim if the manufacturer guarantees that
they are suitable for use in microwaves.
Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal reflects
microwaves. Food in covered metal containers will
remain cold.
Caution!
Metal
e.g. a spoon in a glass
must be kept at least 2
cm from the oven walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside
of the door.
Ovenware test: Do not switch on the microwave unless
there is food inside. The following ovenware test is the
only exception to this rule. Perform the following test if
you are unsure whether your ovenware is suitable for
use in the microwave: Heat the empty ovenware at
maximum power for between 30 and 60 seconds. Check
the temperature of the ovenware during this period. The
ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch. The
ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are
generated.
