The microwave

Microwaves are converted to heat in foodstuffs. The microwave
can be used solo, i.e. on its own, or in combination with a
different type of heating. You will find information about
ovenware and how to set the microwave.
Note:
In the Tested for you in our cooking studio section, you will find
examples for defrosting, heating and cooking with the
microwave oven.

Notes regarding ovenware

Suitable ovenware
Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of glass,
glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic.
These materials allow microwaves to pass through.
You can also use serving dishes. This saves you having to
transfer food from one dish to another. You should only use
ovenware with decorative gold or silver trim if the manufacturer
guarantees that they are suitable for use in microwaves.
Unsuitable ovenware
Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow microwaves
to pass through. Food in covered metal containers will remain
cold.
Caution!
Creation of sparks: metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass – must be
kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the
door. Sparks could destroy the glass on the inside of the door.
