Exceptions:
– Pre-cooked meals in aluminum foil
containers can be defrosted and
reheated in the microwave, if
recommended by the manufacturer.
Important: Remove the lid before
heating the food.
The food is heated only from above.
To heat the food evenly place it in a
container suitable for microwaving.
Make sure that the aluminum foil is
at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the
microwave walls at all times. It must
not touch the walls.
– For even defrosting and to avoid
overcooking unevenly shaped cuts
of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces
of aluminum foil may be used to
mask wing-tips or other thin parts for
the last few minutes of the process.
– Metal meat skewers or clamps
should only be used if they are small
in comparison to the size of the
meat.
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic
glassware are ideal for use in the
microwave.
Crystal contains lead and is
unsuitable.

the microwave.

silver edging or items with hollow
knobs or handles, insufficient
ventilation may cause damage.
