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.
