Notes regarding ovenware

Suitable ovenware
Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of glass,

glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant 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.

Unsuitable ovenware
Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow microwaves

to pass through. Food in covered metal containers will remain

cold.

Caution!
Creation of sparks: metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass – 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.

Ovenware test
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 ½ to

1 minute.

Check the temperature occasionally during that time.

The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.
The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are

generated.
