Unsuitable containers
Crockery and lids with hollow
handles or knobs can collect
moisture in the hollow spaces. When
the moisture evaporates, pressure
can build up and the item can
explode. If the hollow recess is
sufficiently ventilated, the item can
be used.
Do not use crockery with hollow
knobs or handles for cooking.
Do
not
use the following crockery and
material:
– Metal racks (including the supplied
rack) are
not
suitable for use with the
Microwave
function.
– Metal containers
– Aluminium foil
Exception: for even defrosting,
reheating or cooking unevenly
shaped cuts of meat, e.g. poultry,
small pieces of aluminium foil may be
used to cover thin parts for the last
few minutes of the programme.
– Metal clips, plastic or paper ties
containing wire
– Plastic containers where the
aluminium lid has not been
completely removed
– Crystal glass
– Cutlery and crockery with metallic
decoration (e.g. gold rims, cobalt
blue)
– Crockery with hollow handles
– Plasticware made of melamine
Melamine absorbs microwave energy
and gets hot.
When purchasing plasticware, make
sure that it is suitable for use in a
microwave oven.
– Wooden dishes
Water contained in wood evaporates
during the cooking programme. This
causes the wood to dry and crack.
