Utensils made of china and ceramic excellent to

use in your microwave oven. Most types of glass

are also very good.

Lead crystal glass can crack and should therefore,

not be used. Plastics and paper can also be used,

provided they can withstand the temperature of

the heated food. For cooking only use plastics,

which will withstand a temperature of over 120℃,

Eg. polypropene and polyamide. Some plastic

materials, Eg. melamine, will be heated by the

microwave, and be damaged. To find out if a

certain container is suitable, the following simple

test can be made:

Place the empty container and glass of water

inside the microwave oven. The water is needed

because the oven must not be operated empty or

with empty containers only.

Let the oven work on full power for one minute. A

suitable container will only be lukewarm.

Metal containers, Eg. saucepans or frying pans

should not be used in microwave ovens. Nor

should plates or vessels with decorations be used

since metal Eg. gold, might be part of the

decoration and such decorations will be damaged.

Small pieces of aluminiuum foil can be used, but

only to shield the areas that would over-cook (Eg.

for covering chicken wings, leg

tips and fish tails) but the foil

must not touch the side of the

oven as damage may occur.

WHICH UTENSIL CAN BE USED IN THE OVEN?

Glass (general) Yes (1)

Glass (heat resistant) Yes

Glass-ceramic and

ceramic (heat resistant) Yes (1)

Earthenware Yes

China (heat resistant) Yes

Plastic (general) Yes (2)

Plastic (heat resistant) Yes (2)

Aluminium foil con-

tainers/aluminium foil Yes (3)

Metal baking tins No

Metal (pots.pans, etc) No

Paper Yes

1. Without metal parts or metal trims.

2. Some plastics are heat-proof only to certain

temperatures. Check carefully!

3. It is possible to use aluminium foil to shield

deliate areas of food (this prevents over-

cooking).

Caution:

• There are a number of accessories available

on the market. Before you buy, make sure

they are suitable for microwave use.

• When you put food in the microwave oven,

make sure that food, food supports or

covering do not come in direct contact with

any of the internal walls or the ceiling of the

cavity since discolouration may take place.

Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

Before use, the user should check that tensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

Material Microwave cooking

Microwave function only

Utensils and cooking containers used in a

microwave oven should be of a material that does

not act as a barrier to microwave energy.

Generally this means that you should cook in

either (paper), plastic, glass or ceramic.

Metal pans reflect microwave energy and inhibit

cooking, and should not be used. In addition to

material, the shape of the container should also

be considered.

Round oval shapes give the most even cooking.

Square or rectangular containers may over-cook

foods in the corners because more energy is

absorbed there.

Shallow containers give more even cooking

results.
