Cookware Guide

	GB	To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to
	GB	penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish

		used.
		Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the
		cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.
		The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates
		whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.
