cookware guide
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be
able to penetrate the food, without being reected 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.
