Utensils guideline:
It is strongly recommended to only use
containers which are suitable and safe for
microwave cooking. Generally speaking,
containers made of heat-resistant ceramic, glass
or plastic are suitable for microwave cooking.
Never use metal containers for microwave
cooking and combination cooking as sparks are
likely to occur and there is a risk of fire or injury.
When cooking microwave meals, always check
the packaging to see which parts are microwave
safe. Use the oposite table as reference:
Caution!:
There are a number of accessories
available on the market. Before you buy, make
sure they are suitable for microwave use.
When you put food into the Microwave, ensure
that the food, food supports and/or covering
do not come in direct contact with any of the
internal walls or the ceiling of the cavity since
discolouration may take place.
Some plastics are heat-proof only to certain
temperatures. Check carefully!
Always remove lids of jars and containers,
including take away food containers, before
you cook using your microwave. If you don’t
remove the lids, then steam and pressure can
build up inside and cause an explosion even after
microwave cooking has stopped.
Do not use straight sided containers with narrow
necks when heating liquid. Use extreme care
when inserting a spoon or other utensils into the
container.
