Fire hazard!
Cookware that is not microwave
safe can be destroyed and may
damage the microwave oven.
Material and shape
The material and shape of the
cookware used affect the reheating and
cooking time. Flat cookware with a
circular or oval shape generally work
best, since the food will heat more
evenly than in square or rectangular
cookware.
Cookware with hollow knobs or
handles in which moisture can
accumulate is not suitable for use in
microwave ovens, except when
these hollow recesses are
sufficiently ventilated.
Otherwise, pressure can buildup,
which may cause the recesses to
explode. Risk of injury!
Metal
Metal containers, aluminum foil,
metal utensils, and dishware
containing metal (decoration such
as gold rims or cobalt blue) must not
be used in the microwave oven.
Metal reflects microwaves and thus
hinders the cooking process.
Avoid using plastic containers
where the aluminum lid has not
been completely removed.
