Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Plastics

Plastics must only be used with Microwave-Solo. They must be heat-resistant to a minimum of

110 °C. Otherwise the plastic may melt and fuse with the food.

Special plastic utensils designed for use in microwave ovens are available from good retail outlets. When purchasing plasticware, make sure that it is suitable for use in a microwave oven.

Melamine is not suitable for use in this oven. Melamine absorbs microwave energy and gets hot.

Disposable containers, such as trays made from polystyrene, can only be used for very short timed warming and reheating of food.

Plastic boiling bags can be used for cooking and reheating.

They should be pierced beforehand so that steam can escape. This prevents a build-up of pressure and reduces the risk of the bag bursting.

Roasting bags and tubes

Roasting tubes should be about 40 cm longer and roasting bags about 20 cm longer than the food being roasted, and carefully tied with string. Turn the ends over and secure them. The bag should be pierced according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Do not use metal clips, plastic clips containing metal parts or paper ties containing wire.

There is a danger that they will ignite when heated.

Wood

Wooden dishes are not suitable. Moisture contained in the wood evaporates when exposed to microwave energy, causing the wood to dry and crack.

Disposable containers

Only those plastic disposable containers which are specified by the manufacturer as suitable for use in a microwave oven may be used.

Do not leave the oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials.

Disposable containers are not always recyclable or bio-degradable.
