Selecting cookware
Covering the food
Plastics are only
The cover should not completely seal the container. This may prevent steam from escaping causing the cover to melt.
The cover:
–prevents most of the steam from escaping, especially when cooking foods which needs longer to cook, such as potatoes.
–shortens and evens out the cooking process.
–prevents the food from drying out.
–prevents soiling of the microwave interior.
Always cover food with the supplied cover.
A glass or plastic lid is also suitable as an alternative for microwaves. Available in retail stores.
Plastic wrap suitable for microwaving can also be used.
Do not heat food in closed containers e.g. glass baby food containers. Vent the container before heating.
Do not use a cover if cooking food in which a crisp finish is desired e.g. breaded chicken, garlic bread, etc.
