Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Evaluation of the suitability of metal and alloy articles in contact with foodstuffs during microwave heating

Abstract

This document establishes a methodology framework for testing metal-made articles in contact with foodstuffs for use in domestic microwave applicators. An experimental method aiming at qualifying this class of articles is proposed. The objectives of the method are two-folds: ensuring a correct eating efficiency considering a standard microwave heating cycle and guarantying the user safety notably regarding the risk of electrical discharge.
