Plastics
When purchasing plasticware, make
sure that it is suitable for use in a
microwave oven.
It must be heat-resistant to a
minimum of 110 °C.
Otherwise the plastic may melt and
fuse with the food.
Special plastic containers designed for
use in microwave ovens are available
from good retail outlets.
Melamine is not suitable for use in this
microwave oven as it absorbs
microwave energy and gets hot. When
purchasing plasticware, make sure that
it is suitable for use in a microwave
oven.
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from polystyrene, can only be
used for very brief warming and
reheating of food.
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and reheating. They should
be pierced beforehand so that
steam can escape. This prevents a
build-up of pressure and reduces
the risk of the bag bursting.
There are also special steaming
bags available which do not need to
be pierced. Please follow
instructions given on the packet.
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips
containing metal parts, or paper ties
containing wire. There is a danger
that they will ignite when heated.
Fire hazard.
Disposable containers
Only those plastic disposable
containers which are specified by the
manufacturer as suitable for use in a
microwave oven may be used.
Do not leave the microwave oven
unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable
containers made of plastic, paper or
other inflammable materials.
Disposable containers are not always
recyclable or biodegradable.
