Oven glass
Everyday glass that is heat
resistant e.g. Pyrex
ideal for Microwave or
Combination cooking.
DO NOT USE FOR
GRILLING on the GRILL RACK. Do not use
delicate glass or lead crystal which may crack
or arc.
China and ceramic
Everyday glazed china,
porcelain or ceramic
plates, bowls, mugs and
cups can be used if they
are heat resis tant. Fine
bone china should only be
used for reheating for
short periods. Do not use dishes with a metal

glued handles, since the glue can melt. If
dishes are heat resistant they may be used
on COMBINATION but not directly under the

If the dish is suitable for
micro waving, it will remain cool,
whilst the water in the jug will begin
to feel warm. If the testing dish feels
warm, do not use as it is obvious ly
absorbing microwave energy.
N.B. This test does not apply to
plastic or metal based con tainers
e.g. Le Creuset
should not be used as they are cast
iron covered with enamel.
Pottery, earthenware, stoneware
If completely glazed, these
dishes are suitable. Do not
use if partially glazed or
unglazed, since they are
able to absorb water which
in turn absorbs microwave
energy, making the container very hot and
slows down the cooking of food.
Foil/metal containers
