3CK135/6T/7B/8F(GB) 3/31/00 11:05 AM Page 29 Cookware Guide GB To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked microwavesafe, 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.
3CK135/6T/7B/8F(GB) 3/31/00 11:05 AM Page 30 Cooking Guide GB MICROWAVES Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and sugar content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food. COOKING Cookware for microwave cooking: Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency.
