CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL
1.5 OVENWARE
In microwave only and combi with microwave functions, any glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramic, china or ter-
racotta ovenware may be used provided it has no metal decorations or parts (eg. gold paint decorations, metal
handles, feet etc.).
Heat resistant plastic containers may also be used, but only in microwave only mode.
If you are in doubt as to the suitability of a particular container, carry out this simple test - place the empty
container in the oven for 30 seconds at maximum power (microwave only mode).
If the container remains cold or heats up only slightly, it is suitable for microwave cooking.
If it becomes very hot (or sparks are produced), the container is not suitable.
You can also use heat resistant plastic containers.
When heating food for brief periods, paper napkins, cardboard trays or disposable plastic plates can be used
as a base.
The size and shape of containers must allow them to rotate easily inside the oven.
Metal, wood, cane and crystal glass containers are not suitable for microwave cooking.
Since microwaves heat food - and not the dish - you can also heat food on the plate you intend to serve it on.
This can save you a lot of unnecessary washing up.
Remember that heat may be transferred from the food to the plate. You may therefore have to use an oven
glove to take it out of the oven.
All standard ovenware may be used in "FAN", "GRILL" or "FAN + GRILL" functions.
