Suitable dishes are heat resistant ovenware
made of glass, glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or
heat resistant plastic. These materials do not reflect
microwaves.
You can also use serving dishes. This saves you
having to transfer food from one dish to another.
You should only use ovenware with gold or silver rims
if the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable
for use in microwave ovens.
Metal ovenware is unsuitable.
Metal reflects microwaves. Food in covered metal
containers will remain cold.
Important Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be
kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside
of the door. Sparks could destroy the glass on the
inside of the door.
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food
inside.
The following ovenware test is the only exception to
this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether
your ovenware is unsuitable for use in the microwave:
heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for
between 30 and 60 seconds. Check the temperature
of the ovenware during this period. The ovenware
should still be cold or warm to the touch. The
ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are
generated.
Microwave power can be set to 900 watts for a
maximum of 30 minutes. A cooking time of
90 minutes is possible with all other power settings.
