Suitable
Cookware of heat-resistant glass, porcelain, stoneware, ceramics, glass ceramics
or heat-resistant plastic is suitable for use in the microwave oven, but attention
must be paid to the use of the oven (microwave, grill, convection).
Limited suitability
• Aluminium foil can be used in small pieces for covering delicate parts of food,
e.g. when defrosting poultry. Take care that the aluminium foil does not come
into contact with the inner walls of the cooking chamber.
• Open, shallow metal vessels, such as aluminium trays, can be used for heating
ready-made meals.
Not suitable
• Do not use cookware with gold or silver decoration. This can cause sparks and
the decoration could be destroyed.
• Lead crystal glass can burst and should therefore not be used.
• Do not use metal vessels. This can cause sparks. Containers with metal handles,
metal wires or metal fittings are generally not suitable for use.
• Remove wire clips, etc. from containers before placing them into the appliance.
• Wooden vessels or melamine resin containers are not suitable.
• Do not use containers with narrow openings (e.g. bottles).
• Do not use meat thermometers that are not expressly approved by the manu-
facturer as suitable for use in microwave ovens.
To be able to heat the food in the microwave oven, it must be ensured that the
microwaves can penetrate the food and that the cookware does not reflect or ab-
sorb them. The cookware and accessories should therefore be selected carefully.
In addition to the material, the shape of the container must also be considered.
Round, oval shapes produce an even cooking result. Square or rectangular con-
tainers can overcook food in the corners, as more energy is absorbed in these
places. Flat containers give the best cooking results.
Porcelain and ceramic utensils are ideal for the microwave. Most types of glass
are also suitable.
Plastic and paper can be used if it can withstand the temperature of the warmed
food. Only use plastic for cooking that can withstand temperatures above 120°C,
e.g. polypropylene and polyamide. Some plastics (e.g. melamine) are heated by
the microwave and can be damaged.
Suitability test for cookware
Place the empty vessel and a glass of water into the cooking chamber. The water
is required so that the appliance does not operate empty or with only the empty
vessel. Switch on the microwave oven at the highest power level for 60 seconds.
If the cookware becomes hot during this process, it is not suitable for use in
microwave ovens. A suitable vessel only becomes hand-warm.
A wide range of accessories are available in the trade.
Make sure that:
• that the crockery and accessories are suitable for microwave ovens.
• that the food, containers or lids do not come into direct contact with the inner
wall. This could lead to discolouration.
