The microwave

Microwaves are converted to heat in foodstuffs. You

will find information about cookware and how to set

the microwave.
Note
In the Tested for your in our cooking studio section,

you will find examples for defrosting, heating and

cooking with the microwave oven.

Suitable dishes are heatĆresistant ovenware

made of glass, glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or

heatĆresistant plastic. These materials allow

microwaves to pass through.
You can also use serving dishes. This saves you

having to transfer food from one dish to another.

You should only use ovenware with decorative gold or

silver trim if the manufacturer guarantees that they are

suitable for use in microwaves.
Metal ovenware is unsuitable.

Metal does not allow microwaves to pass through.

Food in covered metal containers will remain cold.
Caution Metal Ć e.g. a spoon in a glass Ć must be kept

at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the

door. Sparks could destroy the glass on the inside of

the door.
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food

inside.

The following ovenware test is the only exception to

this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether

your ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:

Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for

between 30 and 60 seconds. Check the temperature

of the ovenware during this period. The ovenware

should still be cold or warm to the touch. The

ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are

generated.
