1.6 OVENWARE

In the microwave only and combi with microwave functions, any glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramic, china or
terracotta ovenware may be used provided it has no metal decorations or parts (e.g. gold decorations, metal
handles, feet etc.).
Heat resistant plastic plates can also be used, but only for "microwave only" cooking.
If you are in doubt as to the suitability of a particular container, carry out this simple test - place the empty
container in the oven for 60 seconds at maximum power (microwave only function).
If the container remains cold or heats up only slightly, it is suitable for microwave cooking.
If it becomes very hot (or sparks are produced), the container is not suitable.
When heating up for brief periods, paper napkins, cardboard trays or disposable plastic plates can be used
as a base.
The size and shape of containers must allow them to rotate easily inside the oven.
Metal, wood, cane and crystal glass containers are not suitable for microwave cooking.
Remember that the microwaves heat the food not the ovenware. Food can therefore be cooked directly on the
serving plate, thus avoiding using and cleaning saucepans.
Always use oven mitts as the very hot food may transmit heat to the plate.
If the oven is set to "Grill only" or "Fan only", all types of ovenware can be used.
The following table provides useful guidelines for choosing ovenware:
