Practical advices

• Use heat resistant ovenware made of glass, glass,

ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic.

These materials do not block the microwaves.

• This is not the case with ovenware made of metal.

The microwaves are obstructed which means that the

food in closed containers remains cold. Ensure that any

metal objects – e.g. a spoon – are at least 2 cm away

from the oven walls and the inside of the door. The

glass on the inside of the door could be damaged by

sparks.

• To cook or defrost pieces of meat of irregular sizes,

you may cover the thinner parts with tin foil, which

should be kept at least 2 cm away from the oven walls,

otherwise these may cause an electric arc.

• Metal spits may be used as long as they are smaller

than the pieces of meat.

• Crystal contains a percentage of lead, which may

cause it to crack if used in the microwave oven. The

same may happen to glass dishes with jagged edges.

! Porcelain dishes may be used but they should not

have hollow handles. Humidity may be formed inside

the hollow handles, which will causes an increase in

pressure that may cause them to break.

! This type of dish may heat considerably.

Painted glazed ceramic dishes may be used if the

painting is done under the glaze.

Many glazes and colours contain metallic substances.

If this is the case they should not be used in the

microwave as they may be damaged.

Recipients with silver and gold glazes may go dark.

! Plastic dishes should be heat resistant (at least 180°

C) or they may be deformed when used in the

microwave. Melamine dishes are not suitable for use in

the microwave as they heat up too much

To cook or heat food in plastic bags, they should be

perforated to allow vapour to escape thus preventing

the bag from bursting.

! Wooden recipients should not be used in the

microwave. Wood contains water, which evaporates

and may cause the recipient to crack.
