15.2 Information on microwave cookware

The ideal material for microwave cookware is permeable for microwaves and allows the
energy to penetrate the container and warm up the food.
Please observe the following tips when selecting the correct cookware:
► Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. Therefore, you should not use utensils made of
metal or cookware with metal trim.
► For microwave cooking, do not use any products made from recycled paper, as they
could contain tiny metal fragments, which could cause sparks and/or result in fire.
► Use round or oval instead of square or rectangular cookware, as otherwise the food
could tend to overheat in the corners.
► You can use narrow strips of aluminium foil to protect sensitive areas against
excessive heating. But do not use too much foil and maintain a distance of approx 2.5
cm between the foil and the walls of the cooking chamber.
► Do not use any aluminium foil when using the microwave or combinations with the
microwave (see following table).
The following table is intended as a basis for selecting the correct cookware:
