9.3 Using the browning plate
Normally when cooking food, such as pizzas or pies, on a grill or in a
microwave oven, the dough or pastry becomes soggy. This can be
avoided by using a browning plate. As a high temperature is reached
quickly on the bottom of the browning plate, the crust turns crisp and
brown.
The browning plate can also be used for bacon, eggs, sausages, etc.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
Use oven gloves at all times as the browning plate will become very
hot.
Never place the browning plate in the oven without the glass plate.
Do not place any recipients on the browning plate that are not heat-
resistant (plastic bowls for example).
How to cook with the browning plate:
1. Preheat the browning plate by selecting the Microwave and Grill
function for 3 to 5 minutes with a 600 W microwaves power level.
2. Brush the browning plate with oil in order to brown the food nicely.
3. Place the fresh or frozen food directly on the browning plate.
4. Place the browning plate on the glass turntable in the microwave oven.
5. Select the Microwaves and Grill function and the cooking time as
described below.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
As the browning plate has a Teflon layer, if you use it incorrectly, it can be
damaged.
Never cut the food on the plate. Remove the food from the plate prior to
cutting.
Cleaning:
The best way to clean the browning plate is to wash it with hot water and
detergent and rinse off with clean water. Do not use a scrubbing brush or
a hard sponge otherwise the top layer will be damaged.
