Suitable containers for microwave ovens
32
Microwaves:
– are reflected by metal.
– pass through glass, porcelain, plastic
and cardboard.
– are absorbed by food.
Fire hazard due to unsuitable
container.
Containers which are not suitable for
use in microwave ovens can be
badly damaged and cause damage
to the appliance if used.
Please observe the information on
suitable containers.
Material and shape
The material and shape of the container
used affect reheating and cooking
durations. Round and oval-shaped
shallow containers are particularly
suitable. Food heats up more evenly in
these containers than in square
containers.
Risk of injury due to hollow
handle elements and lid knobs.
When using containers with hollow
parts, moisture can get inside and
pressure can build up, causing the
container to crack or shatter.
Do not use containers with hollow
handle elements or lid knobs unless
the hollow parts are sufficiently
ventilated.
Metal
Metal containers, aluminium foil,
metal cutlery, and crockery with
metallic decoration, such as gold
rims or cobalt blue, must not be
used in the microwave oven. Metal
reflects microwaves and obstructs
the cooking process.
Do not use containers where the foil
lid has not been completely
removed.
Exceptions:
– Ready meals in aluminium foil dishes.
These can be defrosted and reheated in
the microwave oven. Important:
Remove the lid and make sure the foil
dish is at least 2 cm from the oven walls
at all times. However, food is only
heated from the top. Transferring the
food from the aluminium foil container
