10. Appropriate dishes and kitchen utensils
• If possible, use transparent dishes. They permit microwave beams to pass more easily. This results in food heating
more evenly.
• Microwave beams do not pass through metal. Do not use metal containers.
• Do not use dishes made of recycled paper, as they include low amounts of metal, which can cause sparking. Fire
hazard!
