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.
