Which cookware I should use while cooking in the Samsung Microwave?

Last Update date : 2023-09-24

In order to prepare food in the microwave, it's essential for the microwaves to penetrate the food without being reflected or absorbed by the container. Hence, selecting the right cookware is crucial. If your cookware is labeled as microwave-safe, you can use it without concerns. The table below outlines different cookware types and provides guidance on their suitability and usage in a microwave oven.
