What type of containers may be used?
Microwave function
In the microwave function, it is important to
remember that the microwaves are reflected by
metallic surfaces. Glass, porcelain, ceramic,
plastic and paper will allow the microwaves to
pass through.
Therefore, metallic pans and dishes for
cooking or containers with metallic
components or decorations may not be used
in the microwave.
Glassware and ceramic with
metallic decorations or parts (e.g. lead glass)
may not be used.
The ideal materials to be used for cooking in a
microwave oven are refractory, heat-resistant
glass, porcelain or ceramic. Very fine crystal and
porcelain should only be used for a short time, to
defrost or reheat foods that have already been
cooked.
Test the dishes
Place the dish inside the oven at the maximum
power level for 20 seconds. If it is cold or not very
hot, it is suitable. However, if it gets very hot or
causes an electrical arch, it is not suitable.
Hot foods transmit heat to the dish, which may
become very hot. Therefore, always use a
glove!
Grill function
In the case of the grill function, the dish must be
resistant to temperatures of at least 250ºC.
Plastic dishes are not suitable.
Combined function
In the combined function, the dishes that are used
must be suitable for both microwave and grill
cooking.
Aluminium containers and foils
Precooked foods in aluminium containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil may be placed in the
microwave oven if the following instructions are
followed:

Pay attention to the manufacturer‟s
instructions
that are printed on the
packaging,

Aluminium containers should not be higher
than 3 cm and they should not come into
contact with the walls of the cavity (minimum
distance 3 cm). The aluminium lid should be
removed.

Place the aluminium container directly on
the rotating plate. If the grille is used, the
container should be placed on a porcelain
plate. Never put the container directly on the
grille!

The cooking time will be longer because the
microwaves only enter the food from above.
In case of doubt, only use microwave-safe
dishes.

Aluminium foil may be used to reflect the
microwaves during the defrosting process.
Delicate foods, such as poultry or minced
meat, may be protected from excessive heat
by covering the respective ends.

Important: the aluminium foil must not
come into contact with the walls of the
cavity, as this could cause an electrical arch.
Lids
The use of glass or plastic lids or adherent film is
recommended, for the following reasons:
1. They prevent excessive evaporation (especially
in very long cooking periods);
2. The cooking process is faster;
3. The food does not go dry;
4. The aroma is preserved.
The lid should have holes to avoid any type of
pressure from building up. Plastic bags should
also have openings. Baby bottles and baby food
jars and other similar containers must only be
heated without the lid, as they might explode if it
is left on.
The following table gives general guidelines on
the type of dishes that are suitable for each
situation.
