SUITABLE OVENWARE

MICROWAVE CLING FILM

This, or heat-resistant film, 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.

THE RIGHT UTENSILS FOR COMBINED OPERATION

For combined operation (Microwave + grill) and grill operation, you can use any heat-resistant accessories, e. g. porcelain, pottery, glass. It is possible to use metal accessories only for a simple grill operation.

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 readycooked 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, or 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.
