  COOKW

ARE GUIDE

cookware guide

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, 

without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used.

Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked 

microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they 

should be used in a microwave oven.

✓ ✗

Can be used in small quantities to protect 

areas against overcooking. Arcing can occur 

if the foil is too close to the oven wall or if 

too much foil is used.

✓

Do not preheat for more than 8 minutes.

✓

Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware 

and bone china are usually suitable, unless 

decorated with a metal trim.

✓

Some frozen foods are packaged in these 

dishes.

•  Polystyrene cups 

containers

Can be used to warm food. Overheating 

may cause the polystyrene to melt.

newspaper

•  Recycled paper or 

metal trims
