Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Microwaves

– are reflected by 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.

Ovenproof earthenware can retain a considerable amount of moisture. Earthenware and porcelain containers with hollow handles and lid knobs must only be used in this oven if they have vent holes, which allow the moisture to escape.Without vent holes there can be a pressure build-up, causing the container to crack or shatter, with the danger of injury.

Metal

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

Metal reflects microwaves and obstructs the cooking process.

Do not use plastic pots where the foil lid has not been completely removed as small pieces of foil could cause sparks.
