Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Microwaves

– are reflected by metal,

– pass through glass and chinaware,

– and are absorbed by food.

Material and shape

The material and shape of containers

used affect cooking results and times.

Heat distribution is more even in round

and oval shaped flat containers than in

rectangular containers, providing better

results.

Metal

Metal containers, aluminium foil and

metal cutlery, or china with metallic

decoration, such as gold rims or co-

balt blue must not be used in an

oven being used in microwave

mode.

The metal reflects the microwaves, hin-

dering the cooking process.

Exceptions:

– If recommended by the producer,

pre-cooked meals packed in alumi-

nium foil containers can be de-

frosted and reheated in the micro-

wave oven. Important: remove the lid

first. However, as food is only heated

from the top, it is better to remove

the food from the aluminium foil con-

tainer and transfer it to a dish suit-

able for a microwave oven. The heat

distribution will be more even.

If sparks and arcing occur when

using a metal container, stop and

transfer the food to a microwave safe

container.

– For even defrosting and to avoid

overcooking unevenly shaped cuts

of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces

of aluminium foil may be used to

mask wingtips or other thin parts for

the last few minutes of the process.
