Cookware/bakeware

Usecookware/bakewaremadeoutofglass, porcelain, ceramic, or heat-resistant plastic. These materials are permeable to microwaver radiation. Metalcookware/bakeware, on the other hand, is impermeable to microwaver radiation, which means that food in enclosed metal containers will remain uncooked. Open and flat metal bowls, e.g. made from aluminium, can be used.

Takecarethatthemetalisnottooclosetotheoven wall, ascontactcouldresultinsparks. Metaloven accessories cannot cause sparks provided that they are used according to the instructions in the tables. Always placethe cookware/bakeware on the wire grill.

Exception: Warmingmilkbottles. If sparks do occur between themetal cookware/bakeware and the wire grill, simply wipethe cookware/bakeware basewith a dampcloth.

Often, serving dishescan be used in cooking food. This saves you having to transfer the food as well as a lot of washing up. If your crockery features goldors silver decor, this should only be used if it is guaranteed to microwave suitable according to manufacturer instructions.
