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
Metal skewers and clamps should only
be used if they are very small in com-
parison to the size of the cut of meat.
The microwave oven
rack
supplied
with the appliance is suitable for use in
a microwave oven. Do not place the
rack on the oven floor.
The rack can get hot.
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass is 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 for
use.
Porcelain (chinaware)
Porcelain (chinaware) is suitable.
Do not use porcelain with gold or silver
edging or items with hollow knobs or
handles.
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 metal.
This makes them unsuitable for use in a
microwave oven.
Plastics
Plastic containers must only be used
for Microwave mode alone and not in
normal oven mode.
Plastics must be heat-resistant to a
minimum of 180 °C.
Otherwise the plastic may melt and
fuse with the food.
Special plastic utensils, designed for
use in microwave ovens are available
from most department and hardware
stores. Melamine ware is not suitable
as it absorbs energy and heats up.
When purchasing plasticware, make
sure that it is suitable for use in a micro-
wave oven.
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from polystyrene, can only be
used for very short timed warming and
reheating of food.
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and reheating. They should be
pierced beforehand so that steam can
escape.
This prevents a build-up of pressure
and reduces the risk of the bag bur-
sting.
