GLASS AND GLASS-CERAMIC
Heat-resistant glassware is very
suitable. You can observe the
cooking process from all sides.
It cannot contain any metal (e.g.
lead crystal) or a metal coating
(e.g. gold frame, china blue).
CERAMIC
In general, ceramic is ver y
suitable. Ceramic must be glazed
because moisture can penetrated
the ceramic if it is unglazed. In a
microwave oven, this moisture will
heat up and can cause the ceramic to shatter. If you
are not sure whether your cookware is suitable for use
in a microwave, please do a suitability test. See Page
33.
PORCELAIN
In general, porcelain is very suitable. Be sure that your
porcelain does not contain any metal or gold or silver
plating.
PLASTIC
Heat resistant, microwave-safe plastic ware is suitable
for thawing, heating and cooking.
Please note the manufacturer’s
instructions.
PAPER DISHWARE
Heat resistant, microwave-safe paper dishware is also
suitable. Please note the manufacturer’s instructions.
PAPER TOWELS
can be used to absorb excess moisture in short heating
processes, e.g. for bread or breaded items. Put the
paper towel between the food
and the turning plate. The surface
of your food will stay dry and
crunchy. Covering the food with
paper towels will contain splatters
from greasy foods.
MICROWAVE FOIL
or heat resistant foil is suitable for covering or
wrapping foods. Please note the manufacturer’s
instructions.
ROASTING BAGS
can be used in the microwave
oven. Metal clips are not suited
to close such bags, as they might
cause the foil to melt. Use kitchen
string to close these bags and
pierce the bag with a fork. Do not
use foils that are not heat resistant, e.g. cling film, in
your microwave.
METAL
should not be used, because the microwaves cannot
penetrate it and can therefore
not reach your foods. There are
some exceptions: Narrow strips of
aluminum foil can be used to cover
parts of food, so that these parts
do not thaw or cook too fast (e.g.
the wings of a chicken).
Small metal spikes and aluminum bowls (e.g. in ready-
to-serve meals) can be used.
They must be small in relation to the food, e.g. the
food must fill the aluminum bowl at
least 2/3 to 3/4.). We recommend
transferring such foods to dishes
suitable for use in a microwave.
When using aluminum bowls or
other metal dishes, you must keep
a minimum distance of about 2.0 cm to the walls of
the cooking chamber, otherwise they can be damaged
by possible sparks.
DO NOT USE DISHES WITH METAL PLATING,
or metal parts, e.g. screws, bands or handles.
