Exceptions:
–
Ready-made meals in aluminum foil
trays-
can be defrosted and reheated in the
microwave oven. Important: Remove
the lid and make sure the foil tray is at
least 1" (2.5 cm) from the oven walls at
all times.
Since food will only be heated from the
top in this case, it is better to remove it
from the aluminum foil tray and transfer
it to a microwave safe container. The
heat distribution will then be more even.
When using aluminum foil trays,
crackling and arcing can occur.
Make sure that the aluminum foil is
at least 1" (2.5 cm) from the oven
walls at all times. It may not touch
the walls.
– Metal meat skewers or clamps
These should only be used if they are
very small in comparison to the size of
the cut of meat.
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass
are ideal for use with microwave power.
Crystal glassware is unsuitable
because it contains lead which
could cause the glass to crack in
the microwave oven.
Porcelain
Porcelain is a suitable material.
Do not use porcelain that has metal
trim, such as a gold edge, or hollow
knobs or handles.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decoration is beneath the glaze.
Earthenware can get very hot.
Glazes and colors
Some glazes and colors contain
metal substances.
This makes the dishes they cover
unsuitable for use in the microwave
oven.
Wood
Wooden containers are not suitable.
Moisture contained in the wood
evaporates during the cooking
process, causing the wood to dry
and crack.
