Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Exceptions:

–If recommended by the producer, pre-cooked meals in aluminium foil containers can be defrosted and reheated in the appliance using microwave power. Important: Remove the lid first.

However, 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 containers on the metal rack as this can cause arcing to occur and damage the oven.

–For even defrosting and to avoid overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of aluminium foil may be used to mask wing-tips or other thin parts for the last few minutes of the process.

Make sure that the aluminium foil is at least 2 cm from the oven walls at all times. It must not touch the walls.

–Metal meat skewers or clamps should only be used if they are very small in comparison to the size of the cut of meat.

The combi rack supplied with the appliance is suitable for use with microwave power. However, it must not be placed on the oven floor.

The rack can get hot.

Glassware

Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass are ideal for use in the microwave oven.

Crystal glass contains lead which could cause the glass to crack. Glass dishes with a milled rim are subject to the same risk.

Both are unsuitable.

Porcelain

Porcelain is a suitable material.

Do not use porcelain with gold or silver edging or items with hollow knobs or handles, as insufficient ventilation may cause pressure.

Earthenware

Decorated earthenware is only suitable if the decoration is beneath an all-over glaze.

Earthenware can get very hot, and may crack.

Glazes and colours

Some glazes and colours contain metals which make them unsuitable for use in a microwave oven.
