Ovenware

Ovenware test:
52
Use heat resistant ovenware made of glass, glass and
ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat resistant plastic.
These materials do not block the microwaves.
This is not the case with ovenware made of metal. The
microwaves are obstructed which means that the
food in closed metal containers remains cold.
Make sure that there is a gap of at least 2 cm between
metal items such asspoons and the walls and the
inside of the door. The glass on the inside of the door
could be damaged by sparks.
You can often use serving dishes for cooking food.
This saves you from having to transfer the food and
means there is less washing up.
You should only use ovenware with gold or silver rims
if the ovenware manufacturer guarantees that they are
suitable for use in the microwave.
Always place the ovenware directly on the turntable.
Carry out the following test if you are unsure whether
your ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:
Place the empty dish in the oven for ½ to 1 minute at
full power. Check the temperature during this period.
The dish should still be cold or hand hot. The dish is
unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks are generated.
N.B. The microwave must only be switched on when
there is food in the cooking compartment. The only
exception to this rule is this ovenware test.
