quantity of the food. It may be necessary to adjust the cooking duration times
and/or microwave power level a little.
What kinds of ovenware can be used?
•
Microwave energy can pass through glass, china, plastic, clay pots and paper
containers to be absorbed into the food.
•
Microwave energy cannot pass through metal containers as the metal reflects the
microwaves.
•
Therefore, it is best to use heat-resistant glass containers in the microwave.
•
If the glass or china cookware has a metallic trim (like a gold leaf decoration) or
contains metal (like lead crystal), then it cannot be used in the microwave.
•
Microwave energy heats the moisture in the food directly rather than heating the
cookware. However, the cookware will become hot eventually from the heat
radiated from the food. Therefore, you must use oven gloves when removing the
cookware from the oven.
•
To test if an item of cookware is suitable to use in microwave mode, place it on the
oven turntable with a cup of water next to it. Start the microwave on maximum
power for 20 seconds. At the end of the test, the water in the cup should be warm
(because it has absorbed the microwave energy) and the cookware item should be
cool. The cookware item is then suitable to use in the microwave. If the cookware
item was warm and the water was cold, then that would indicate that the cookware
item had absorbed the microwave energy and would not be suitable to use for
microwave cooking. If you notice any arcing during the test, switch the oven off
immediately.
•
For grilling and convection fan oven, cookware needs to be heat-resistant to at least
300°C.
•
Plastic containers are not suitable for grill, convection or grill-combination,
convection-combination or grill-convection-combination functions.
•
For combination cooking functions, it is best to use heat-resistant glass cookware.
•
Heat-resistant glass will be able to cope with the high temperatures from the grill
and/or convection oven and will also allow microwave energy to pass through the
glass into the food.
