Fire hazard.
Non-microwave safe dishes can
suffer damage or damage the steam
oven.
The material and shape of the
containers used affect cooking results
and times.
Heat distribution is more even in round
and oval shaped flat containers than in
rectangular containers, providing better
results.
Suitable containers for microwave
use
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic dishes
are ideal for use with microwave power.
Exception: Do not use crystal glass
as it contains lead which can crack
or shatter with microwave power.
Porcelain
Porcelain is a suitable material.
Exception: Do not use porcelain with
gold rims or cobalt blue or items with
hollow knobs or handles, as
insufficient ventilation may cause a
build-up of pressure.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decoration is beneath an all-over
glaze.
