APPROPRIATE DISHES
MICROWAVE FOIL
or heat-resistant foil is quite suitable for covering or
wrapping. Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
COOKING BAGS
can be used in the microwave oven. However,
metal clips are unsuitable for closing them, as the
cooking bag foil can melt. Use string to close the
bag and pierce the cooking bag several times with
a fork. Non heat-resistant foil, e.g. cling film, is not
recommended for use in a microwave oven.
SUITABLE DISHES FOR COMBINED
USE
You can use every type of heat-resistant dish (e.g.
porcelain, ceramics or glass) for combined use
(microwave + grill) and grilling. Metal dishes can
only be used for pure grilling. Do not use any
kitchen or baking paper when grilling or when
using bottom heat. It can overheat and catch fire.
METAL
should not be used as a rule, as
microwaves do not penetrate
metal and so cannot reach the
food. However, there are
exceptions: small strips of
aluminium foil can be used to cover parts so that
they do not defrost or cook too quickly (e.g.
chicken wings).
12:21 PM Page GB-18
aluminium covers must be at least 2/3 to 3/4 full
of food. It is advisable to refill the food into
crockery suitable for microwave cooking. When
using aluminium covers or other metal dishes a
minimum distance of approximately 2.0 cm must
be kept from the cooking enclosure as otherwise
this can be damaged by the possible production of
sparks.
NO CROCKERY WITH A METAL
COATING
Do not use crockery with metal parts or metal
inserts e.g. with screws, edges or handles.
CROCKERY SUITABILITY TEST
filled with 150 ml of water on or next to the dish.
Operate the device for 1 to 2 minutes at 100 P
(800 W) which is 100 % power. If the dish stays
cool or lukewarm, it is suitable. Do not perform
this test for a plastic dish. It could melt.
GB-18
Small metal skewers and
aluminium covers (e.g. for ready-
prepared meals) can be used.
However, they must be small in
relation to the food, e.g.
If you are unsure whether your
crockery is suitable for use with
your microwave, carry out the
following test: put the crockery in
the device. Put a glass container
