for use in a microwave oven.
Do not place it on the oven floor!
The rack can get hot.
Heat-resistant glass is ideal for use in
the microwave oven.
Crystal glass contains lead which
could cause the glass to crack.
Glass dishes with a milled rim are
subject to the same risk. Both are
unsuitable for use.
Porcelain (chinaware) is suitable.
Do not use porcelain with gold or sil-
ver edging or items with hollow
knobs or handles, as insufficient
ventilation may cause pressure.
Decorated earthenware is only suit-
able if the decoration is beneath an
all-over glaze. Earthenware can get
very hot, and may crack.
Some glazes and colours contain
metal.
This makes them unsuitable for use in a
microwave oven.
is suitable
Otherwise the plastic may melt and
fuse with the food.
Special plastic utensils, designed for
use in microwave ovens are available
from most department and hardware
stores. Melamine ware is not suitable
as it absorbs energy and heats up.
When purchasing plasticware, make
sure that it is suitable for use in a micro-
wave oven.
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from polystyrene, can only be
used for very short timed warming and
reheating of food.
This prevents a build-up of pressure
and reduces the risk of the bag bur-
sting.
Roasting tubes should be about 40 cm
longer and roasting bags about 20 cm
longer than the food being roasted,
and carefully tied with string. Turn the
ends over and secure them. Holes
should be made according to the manu-
facturer's instructions.
Plastic containers must only be
used for microwave mode alone
and not in normal oven mode.
Plastics must be heat-resistant to a
minimum of 180 °C.
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and reheating. They should
be pierced beforehand so that
steam can escape.
