Utensils Guide - Fisher & Paykel OM25BLCX1 User Manual

Turn food items over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such food items as chicken
■ ■
and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
Rearrange food items such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and
■ ■
from the centre of the dish to the outside.

Utensils guide

The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave energy (see table below).
■ ■
It allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
■ ■
Microwave energy cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should
■ ■
not be used.
Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal
■ ■
fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends
■ ■
to overcook.
Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Be careful
■ ■
not to use too much and keep a distance of 2.54 cm between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
