Cookware guide
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate
the food, without being reected or absorbed by the dish used.
Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is
marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.
The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how
they should be used in a microwave oven.
