1.5 OVENWARE TO BE USED
In the "Microwave Only" and In In In the "Microwave Only"and "Microwave Combined" modes, glass con-
tainers (preferably Pyrex), ceramic, china and terra-cotta may be used provided that they are undecorated and
free of metal parts (i.e. gilt trimmings, handles, feet etc.). Heat resistant plastic containers can also be used,
but only for "Microwave Only" cooking. If you are still doubtful about using a particular container, you can
perform a simple test. Place the empty container in the oven for 30 seconds at maximum power ("Microwave
Only" function).
If the container is still cold or only slightly warm, it is suitable for microwave cooking.
If it is very hot or gives out sparks, it is not suitable.
Paper napkins, cardboard trays and disposable plastic plates can also be used for short cooking times. The
size and shape of the containers must be such as to allow them to rotate properly inside the oven.
Metal, wood, cane and crystal containers are not suitable for microwave cooking.
It is worth remembering that - since microwaves heat the food, not the dish - it is possible to cook the food
directly on the plate on which it is to be served. This means that you do not need to use saucepans. However,
remember that heat may be transferred from the food itself onto the plate, making it necessary to use an oven
glove.
If the oven has the "Fan Oven Only" or "Grill only" settings, all types of oven containers may be used.
Please observe the guidelines in the table below:
Mode: "Microwave Only"
