SUITABLE COOKWARE

COOKWARE SUITABLE FOR MICROWAVE OPERATION
GLASS AND GLASS-CERAMIC
Heat-resistant glassware is very
suitable. You can observe the
cooking process from all sides.
It cannot contain any metal (e.g.
lead crystal) or a metal coating
(e.g. gold frame, china blue).
CERAMIC
In general, ceramic is very
suitable. Ceramic must be
glazed because moisture can
penetrated the ceramic if it is unglazed. In a
microwave oven, this moisture will heat up and
can cause the ceramic to shatter. If you are not
sure whether your cookware is suitable for use in a
microwave, please do a suitability test. See Page
GB-28.
PORCELAIN
In general, porcelain is very suitable. Be sure that
your porcelain does not contain any metal or gold
or silver plating.
PLASTIC
Heat resistant, microwave-safe plastic ware is
suitable for thawing, heating and
cooking. Please note the
manufacturer's instructions.
PAPER DISHWARE
Heat resistant, microwave-safe paper dishware is
also suitable. Please note the manufacturer's
instructions.
PAPER TOWELS
can be used to absorb excess moisture in short
heating processes, e.g. for bread
or breaded items. Put the paper
towel between the food and the
turning plate. The surface of your
food will stay dry and crunchy.
Covering the food with paper towels will contain
splatters from greasy foods.

MICROWAVE FOIL
or heat resistant foil is suitable for covering or
wrapping foods. Please note the manufacturer's
instructions.
ROASTING BAGS
can be used in the microwave oven. Metal clips
are not suited to close such
bags, as they might cause the
foil to melt. Use kitchen string to
close these bags and pierce the
bag with a fork. Do not use foils
that are not heat resistant, e.g. cling film, in your
microwave.
METAL
should not be used, because the microwaves
cannot penetrate it and can
therefore not reach your foods.
There are some exceptions:
Narrow strips of aluminum foil
can be used to cover parts of
food, so that these parts do not thaw or cook too
fast (e.g. the wings of a chicken).
Small metal spikes and aluminum bowls (e.g. in
ready-to-serve meals) can be used.
They must be small in relation to the food, e.g. the
food must fill the aluminum bowl
at least 2/3 to 3/4.). We
recommend transferring such
foods to dishes suitable for use in
a microwave. When using
aluminum bowls or other metal dishes, you must
keep a minimum distance of about 2.0 cm to the
walls of the cooking chamber, otherwise they can
be damaged by possible sparks.
DO NOT USE DISHES WITH METAL
PLATING,
or metal parts, e.g. screws, bands or handles.
