Suitable containers for microwave ovens

The cover

–prevents too much steam escaping, especially when cooking foods which need longer to cook, such as potatoes.

–shortens and evens out the cooking process.

–prevents food from drying out.

–prevents any loss of aroma.

–helps keep the oven interior clean.

Always cover food with the cover supplied.

Alternatively, use lids or covers made of microwave-safe glass or plastic, or use a clingfilm recommended for use in a microwave oven (pierce as instructed by the manufacturer).

Heat can cause normal clingfilm to distort and fuse with the food.

Sealed glass containers, such as jars of baby food, must be opened before they are placed in the oven.

Do not use a lid or cover if

–food coated with breadcrumbs is being cooked.

–cooking meals which are to be given a crisp finish.

–the gourmet plate is being used.

Because the cover can only withstand temperatures of up to 110 °C it must only be used in microwave-solo mode. It must not be used in conjunction with the gourmet plate. At temperatures in excess of 110 °C the plastic can melt and get into the food.

The cover should not form a seal with the container. If the cover is used with a container which only has a narrow diameter, there might not be enough room for condensation to escape through the holes in the top. The cover could get too hot and could start to melt.
