Plastics
Plastics must only be used with
Microwave Solo. They must be
heat-resistant to a minimum of
110 °C. Otherwise the plastic may
melt and fuse with the food.
Special plastic utensils designed for
use in microwave ovens are available
from good retail outlets. When
purchasing plasticware, make sure that
it is suitable for use in a microwave
oven.
Melamine is not suitable for use in this
oven. Melamine absorbs microwave
energy and gets hot.
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.
Roasting bags and tubes Roasting
tubes should be about 40 cm longer
and roasting bags about 20 cm longer
than the food being roasted, and
carefully tied with string. Turn the ends
over and secure them. The bag should
be pierced according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
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.
Wood
Wooden dishes are not suitable.
Moisture contained in the wood
evaporates when exposed to
microwave energy, causing the wood to
dry and crack.
Disposable containers
Only those plastic disposable
containers which are specified by the
manufacturer as suitable for use in a
microwave oven may be used.
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from polystyrene, can only be
used for very short timed warming and
reheating of food.
Do not leave the 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 bio-degradable.
