Advice on the use of Cookware

Metal

Do not use metal dishes, tinned food, food

wrapped in tin foil and cutlery inside the

microwave oven. The metal reflects the

microwaves and food is not heated.

The food should be removed from its tin foil

containers and placed in dishes adequate for use

in the microwave oven. As microwaves don't

penetrate tin foil, the food heats only on the

surface. By using appropriate dishes, the heat is

evenly distributed throughout the food.

EXCEPTIONS:

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.

Glass

All heatproof glass containers may be used.

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

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.

Glazed Ceramic Dishes

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

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.

Wood

Wooden recipients should not be used in the

microwave. Wood contains water, which

evaporates and may cause the recipient to crack.

Recipient Test

If in doubt about the use of glass, glazed ceramic

or porcelain dishes in the microwave oven, do the

following test:

1. Place the empty dish and a glass of water

inside the microwave oven;

2. Close the door;

3. Set the Power Level Selector at maximum

power;

4. Adjust the timer to 1 minute;

Note: The oven starts.

If during this test you hear any noise along with

sparks, turn off the oven immediately.

Any kind of cookware that has this kind of

behaviour or is very hot when removed from the

oven should not be used in the microwave oven.

EXCEPTIONS:

Glazed ceramic dish recipients contain many

water molecules and heat a lot, but can be used in

the microwave oven. If in doubt, contact the

supplier of the cookware, and make sure that they

are appropriate for microwaves.

Lids

The use of glass lids, plastic lids or plastic film is

advisable because:

1. They prevent the release of excessive

vapours especially when cooking for longer

periods.

2. They increase the speed of heating food.

3. They prevent the food from drying up.

4. They prevent the loss of the food aroma.

The lids should have holes to avoid pressure.

Plastic film should be perforated.

Baby bottles, baby food jars and other similar

recipients should be warmed up without lids as

they can burst.
