Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Microwaves

– are reflected by metal,

Containers and lids with hollow handles or knobs in which moisture can collect are unsuitable, unless the hollowed areas are adequately vented.

Without vent holes pressure can build up, causing the container to crack or shatter with the danger of injury.

Metal

–pass through glass, porcelain, plastic and card,

– and are absorbed by food.

Material and shape

The material and shape of containers used affect cooking results and times. Heat distribution is more even in round and oval shaped flat containers than in rectangular containers, providing better results.

Metal containers, aluminium foil, metal cutlery, and china with metallic decoration such as gold rims or cobalt blue must not be used on microwave mode.

Metal reflects microwaves and obstructs the cooking process. Also, avoid using plastic pots where the foil lid has not be completely removed.

Exceptions:

– Ready-meals in aluminium foil dishes

These can be defrosted and reheated in the microwave oven, if recommen- ded by the manufacturer.

Remove the lid and make sure the foil dish is at least 2 cm from the oven walls at all times.

Important:

As food is only heated from the top, it is better to remove the food from the aluminium foil container and transfer it to a dish suitable for a microwave oven. The heat distribution will be more even. Do not place aluminium foil dishes in the microwave in case the dish sparks or arcs. If sparks occur, transfer food to a microwave-safe container.
