Microwave ovenware with convection: what kind of dishes can be used in the oven

Convenient microwave ovens use both special dishes and ordinary ones. It is good if it is heat-resistant, and even better – refractory. What kind of dishes can I put in the microwave? Only the one that does not have metal in its composition, even in the form of individual particles, does not conduct microwaves and has high heat resistance. It can be made from the following materials:

– durable thick glass;

– ceramics;

– porcelain;

– plastic;

– silicone;

– foam;

– cardboard, paper.

All of them remain cold in the chamber of a working oven, since they easily pass microwaves through them. To simply reheat food, a paper, foam, silicone backing will do. Household glass plates, glasses, tureens are also good. The main thing is that they are intact, without chips, have strong thick walls. Glazed containers are allowed for use if the glaze is not cracked and applied evenly.

To boil pasta or bake a cake, you need special glassware. Heat-resistant glass and porcelain containers are suitable for normal cooking. But utensils for a microwave oven with convection or for a grill should be made of special heat-resistant or fire-resistant glass.

Plastic trays are very convenient and practical, because they perfectly tolerate extreme cooling down to –40 ° C and strong heating up to + 140 ° C. You can reheat food in such a dish if a special sign is applied, but you cannot cook a full-fledged dish or use a grill. In addition, you need to understand the types of plastic. Polypropylene and polyamide are safe for humans.

It is easiest for beginners to pay attention to prompts, that is, special signs on the surface of a material. Microwaves are labeled to help you figure out if a container is oven-safe.
