Aluminium containers and foil
Pre-cooked food in aluminium containers or
in aluminium foil can be put in the microwave
if the following aspects are respected:
Keep in mind the manufacturer’s
recommendations written on the packaging.
• The aluminium containers cannot be more
than 3 cm high or come in contact with the
cavity walls (minimum distance 3 cm). Any
aluminium lid or top must be removed.
• Put the aluminium container directly on top
of the turntable plate. If you use the
rectangular rack, put the container on a
china plate. Never put the container
directly on the rectangular rack!
• The cooking time is longer because the
microwaves only enter the food from the
top. If you have any doubts, it is best to use
only dishes suitable for microwave use.
• Aluminium foil can be used to reflect
microwaves during the defrosting process.
Delicate food, such as poultry or minced
meat, can be protected from excessive heat
by covering the respective extremities/
edges.
• Important: aluminium foil cannot come
into contact with the cavity walls since this
may cause electrical arcing.
Lids
We recommend you use glass or plastic lids
or cling film since:
1. This will stop excessive evaporation
(mainly during very long cooking times);
2. The cooking times are shorter;
3. The food does not become dry;
4. The aroma is preserved.
The lid should have holes or openings so that
no pressure develops. Plastic bags must also
be opened. Baby feeding bottles or jars with
baby food and similar containers can only be
heated without their tops / lids otherwise
they can burst.
