Cooking and heating up in the microwave

Microwave-suitable materials
You can buy special dishes and accessories for your microwave. Look for
markings such as "Microwave-suitable" or "For the microwave". You can also
use your existing dishes – if the material is suitable.
Suitable materials
• Porcelain, glass ceramic and heat-proof glass
• Plastics which are heat-proof and microwave-suitable (Caution: plastics
may become discoloured by foods or become warped by the heat)
• Baking paper.
Warning
Do not use porcelain, ceramic or plastic containers in grill or grill combi
mode. Do not use cling film either. Due to the very high temperatures the
materials could break, warp or even melt.
Conditionally suitable materials
• 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 décor should only be used if the manufacture
has labelled it "microwave-suitable".
• Aluminium foil. Do not use aluminium foil in large quantities. However,
you can use small pieces, e.g. to cover delicate parts. Cover the corners
of containers to prevent boiling over, as the microwave energy is
concentrated primarily on the corners. Keep a distance of 2.5 cm between
the foil and the inner wall.
• Aluminium containers (e. g. those for ready-to-serve meals) are suitable,
but they must be at least 3cm high to be used in the microwave.
