Microwaves

–

are reflected by metal,

– pass through glass, porcelain,

plastic and card,

–

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.

Containers and lids with hollow

handles or knobs in which moisture

can collect are unsuitable, unless

the hollowed areas are adequately

vented.

Without vent holes pressure can

build up, causing the container to

crack or shatter with the danger of

injury.

Metal

Metal containers, aluminium foil,

metal cutlery, and china with

metallic decoration such as gold

rims or cobalt blue must not be used

on microwave mode.

Metal reflects microwaves and

obstructs the cooking process.

Also, avoid using plastic pots where

the foil lid has not be completely

removed.

Exceptions:

–

Ready-meals in aluminium foil dishes

These can be defrosted and reheated

in the microwave oven, if recommen

-

ded by the manufacturer.

Remove the lid and make sure the foil

dish is at least 2 cm from the oven walls

at all times.

Important:

As food is only heated from the top, it is

better to remove the food from the

aluminium foil container and transfer it

to a dish suitable for a microwave oven.

The heat distribution will be more even.

Do not place aluminium foil dishes in

the microwave in case the dish sparks

or arcs. If sparks occur, transfer food to

a microwave-safe container.
