Plastics
Plasticware must only be used in the
Microwave Solo mode.
It must be heat-resistant and able to
withstand temperatures of at least
230°F (110°C).
Otherwise, the plastic may melt and
fuse with the food.
Special microwave-safe plasticware is
also available from retail stores.
Plasticware made of melamine is not
suitable for use in the microwave oven.
It absorbs microwave energy and
becomes very hot. Before purchasing
plasticware, make sure the material is
microwave safe.
Plastic cooking bags can be used
for cooking and reheating food.
They should be pierced beforehand
so that steam can escape. This
prevents a buildup of steam and
reduces the risk of the bag bursting.
Specially designed steam cooking
bags that do not need to be pierced
are also available. Follow the
instructions listed on the packaging.
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips
with metal parts or paper twist ties
containing wire. They can ignite
when heated.

unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable
containers made of plastic, paper or
