SUITABLE COOKWARE
MICROWAVE FOIL
This, or heat-resistant foil, is very suitable for
covering or wrapping. Please follow the
manufacturer's recommendations.
ROASTING BAGS
Can be used in a microwave oven. Metal clips
are not suitable for fastening them since the
roasting bag foil might melt. Fasten the roasting
bag with string and pierce it several times with a
fork. Non heat-resistant food wraps are not
recommended for use in a microwave oven.
BROWNING DISH
A special microwave dish made from ceramic
glass with a metal alloy base, which allows food
to be browned.
When using the browning dish a suitable insulator,
e.g. a porcelain plate, must be placed between
the turntable and the browning dish. Be careful to
adhere exactly to the pre-heating time given in the
manufacturer's instructions. Excessive pre-heating
can damage the turntable and the turntable stand
or can trigger the safety-device which will switch
off the oven.
METAL
Generally speaking, metal should not be used,
since microwaves do not pass
through metal and therefore
cannot reach the food. There
are, however, exceptions: small
strips of aluminium foil may be
used to cover certain parts of the food, so that
these do not thaw too quickly or begin to cook
(e.g. chicken wings).Small metal skewers and
aluminium containers (e.g. of ready- cooked
meals) can be used.
They must, however, be small in
relation to the food, e.g.
aluminium containers must be at
least
2/
3
to
3/
4
filled with food. It
is recommended that you transfer
the food into a dish suitable for use in the
microwave. When using aluminium containers or
other metal utensils there must be a gap of approx.
2 cms between them and the walls of the cooking
area, otherwise the walls could be damaged by
possible arcing.
NO UTENSIL SHOULD HAVE A METAL
OVERLAY
metal parts such as screws, bands or
handles.
UTENSIL SUITABILITY TEST
If you are not sure whether your utensil is suitable
for use in your microwave oven,
carry out the following test: Place
the utensil into the oven. Place a
glass container filled with 150 ml
of water on or next to the utensil.
Switch on the oven at 900 W
power for 1 to 2 minutes. If the utensil stays cool
or just warm to the touch, it is suitable. Do not use
this test on a plastic utensil. It could melt.
