Oven glass

Everyday glass that is heat 

resistant e.g. Pyrex

®

, is 

ideal for microwave, oven or 

combination cooking.

Do not use delicate glass or 

lead crystal which may crack 

or arc.

China and ceramic

Everyday glazed china, 

porcelain or ceramic plates, 

bowls, mugs and cups can be 

used if they are heat resistant. 

Fine bone china should only 

be used for reheating for short  

periods. Do not use dishes 

with a metal rim or pattern. 

Do not use jugs or mugs with 

glued handles, since the glue 

can melt. If dishes are heat 

resistant they may be used on 

Oven and Combination but not 

directly under the Grill.

Pottery, earthenware, 

stoneware

If completely glazed, these 

dishes are suitable. Do not 

use if partially glazed or 

unglazed, since they are able 

to absorb water which in turn 

absorbs microwave energy, 

making the container very hot 

and slows down the cooking 

of food.

Foil/metal containers

metal containers on microwave 

only as the microwaves cannot 

pass through and the food will 

not heat evenly, it may also 

damage your oven. Foil and 

metal containers can be used on 

grill or oven.

Choosing the correct 

container is a very important 

factor in deciding the success 

or failure of your cooking.

Testing dishes for suitability - 

for microwave cooking only.

When unsure that a cooking container is  

suitable for use in your microwave, check by 

the following test:
1.  Fill a microwave safe measuring jug with 

300 ml cold water.

2.  Place it on the base of the oven along 

side the dish to be tested. If the dish you 

are testing is a large dish, then stand the 

measuring jug on top of the empty dish.

3.  Heat on high power for 1 minute.

Result

If the dish is suitable for 

microwaving, it will remain cool, 

whilst the water in the jug will begin 

to feel warm. If the testing dish feels 

warm, do not use as it is obviously  

absorbing microwave energy.

Note

This test does not apply to plastic 

or metal based containers e.g. Le 

Creuset

®

 style dishes, which should 

not be used as they are cast iron 

covered with enamel.
