What are microwaves?

Glass & ceramic glass

Heat-resistant glass utensils are very suitable. The

cooking process can be observed from all sides. They

must not, however, contain any metal (e.g. lead crystal),

nor have a metallic overlay (e.g. gold edge, cobalt blue

finish).

Ceramics

Generally very suitable. Ceramics must be glazed, since

with unglazed ceramics moisture can get into the

ceramic. Moisture causes the material to heat up and

may make it shatter. If you are not certain whether your

utensil is suitable for the microwave, carry out the utensil

suitability test.

Porcelain

Very suitable. Ensure that the porcelain does not have a

gold or silver overlay and that it does not contain any

metal.

Plastic & paper utensils

Heat resistant plastic utensils which are suitable for use in

the microwave can be used to thaw, heat and cook food.

Follow the manufacturers recommendations.

Heat-resistant paper made for use in a microwave oven is

also suitable. Follow the manufacturers recommendations.

Kitchen paper

Can be used to absorb any moisture which occurs in short

heating methods, e.g. of bread or products in bread

crumbs. Insert the paper between the food and the

revolving plate. The surface of the food will stay crispy

and dry. Covering greasy food with kitchen paper will

catch splashes.

What are microwaves?

Like radio and television waves, microwaves are

electromagnetic waves.

Microwaves are produced by a magnetron inside the

microwave oven, and these vibrate the molecules of water

present in the food. The friction this causes produces heat,

which ensures that the food is defrosted, heated, or

cooked through.

The secret of the reduced cooking times is the fact that the

microwaves penetrate the food from every direction.

Energy is used to the full. In comparison, the energy from a

conventional hob passes from the burner through the pan

and so to the food. This method wastes a great deal of

energy.

The characteristics of microwaves.

Microwaves penetrate all non-metal objects made of glass,

china, earthenware, plastic, wood or paper. This is why the

microwaves never make these materials hot. Dishes

become hot only because the food inside them is hot.

The food absorbs the microwaves and is heated.

Microwaves cannot pass through objects made of metal

and so they are deflected. For this reason metal objects are

not normally suitable for microwave cookery. There are

exceptions where you can actually make use of the fact

that the microwaves cannot pass through metal. If you

cover food with aluminium foil at specific points while it is

defrosting or cooking, you can prevent those parts from

getting too warm, too hot, or overcooked. Please check

out the advice given in the guide.

Microwave cling film

This, or heat-resistant film, is very suitable for covering or

wrapping. Please follow the manufacturer's

recommendations.

Roasting bags

Can be used in a microwave oven. Metal clips are not

suitable for fastening them since the roasting bag foil

might melt. Fasten the roasting bag with string and

pierce it several times with a fork. Non heat-resistant

food wraps are not recommended for use in a microwave

oven.

Browning dish

A special microwave dish made from ceramic glass with a

metal alloy base, which allows food to be browned.

When using the browning dish a suitable insulator, e.g. a

porcelain plate, must be placed between the turntable

and the browning dish. Be careful to adhere exactly to

the pre-heating time given in the manufacturer's

instructions. Excessive pre-heating can damage the

turntable and the turntable stand or can trigger the

safety-device which will switch off the oven.

Metal

Generally speaking, metal should not be used, since

microwaves do not pass through metal and therefore

cannot reach the food. There are, however, exceptions:

small strips of aluminium foil may be used to cover

certain parts of the food, so that these do not thaw too

quickly or begin to cook (e.g. chicken wings). Small metal

skewers and aluminium containers (e.g. of ready- cooked

meals) can be used.
