Plastic containers
Can be used for many heating purposes.
Note! Plastic containers made from
melamine, polyethylene and phenol must
not be used.
Porcelain
All porcelain can be used in microwave
ovens, although ovenproof porcelain is
preferable.
Fireproof covered dishes. Glass dishes
with lids that fit so closely that steam
cannot escape are ideal for vegetables
and fruit to which no liquid is added
(however, the cooking time must not
exceed 5 minutes).
Browning dishes
You must be very careful when using this
type of dish. Never heat the browning dish
for more than 5 minutes on the turntable.
Suitable insulation, such as a heat-
tested plate, should be placed between
the browning dish and the turntable to
prevent the turntable from overheating.
Microwave oven roasting film
Used particularly for soups, sauces,
stewed dishes or when defrosting food.
Can also be used as a loose covering to
prevent fat, etc. from spraying out into the
oven compartment.
Kitchen roll
Kitchen roll is ideal, as it absorbs
moisture and fat. For example, bacon
can be placed in layers, with kitchen roll
between each layer. The bacon will then
be completely crispy, as it does not sit in
its own fat. Home-baked bread can be
taken directly from the freezer, packed in
kitchen roll and heated in the appliance.
UK
Wet kitchen roll
Can be used for fish or vegetables.
Covering the food prevents it from drying
out.
Greaseproof paper
Fish, large vegetables such as
cauliflower, corn on the cob and similar
can be wrapped in wet greaseproof
paper.
Roasting bags
Roasting bags are ideal for meat, fish
and vegetables. However, they must
never be closed using metal clips. Cotton
thread should be used instead. Prick the
bag with small holes, and place it in the
appliance on a plate or glass dish.
Unsuitable utensils and materials
When you prepare food in the appliance,
you should not use the following utensils
and materials:
Sealed glass jars/bottles with small
openings, as they may explode.
General-purpose thermometers
Silver foil/foil trays, as the microwave rays
cannot penetrate the material and the
food will not cook.
Recycled paper, as it may contain small
metal splinters that could cause sparks
and/or fire.
Closed tins/containers with tightly sealed
lids, as excess pressure may cause the
tin/container to explode.
Metal clips and other lids/foils, containing
metal wires. These can form sparks in
the appliance and must therefore be
removed.
