Containers To Use - Panasonic NN-CT54JW Operating Instruction And Cook Book

Containers to Use

Plastic
Many plastic containers are
designed for microwave use,
but do not use for cooking
foods high in sugar or fat or
for foods that require long
cooking times e.g. brown
rice. Only use Tupperware
containers if they are
designed for microwave use.
Do not use Melamine. Never
cook in margarine cartons
or yoghurt pots, as these
will melt with the heat from
the food. If heatproof they
can be used for combination
cooking. Do not use under
the grill.
Paper
Plain white absorbent kitchen
paper (kitchen towel) can
only be used for microwave
cooking e.g. cover ing bacon
to prevent splattering.
Only use for short cooking
times. Never re-use a piece
of kitchen towel. Always
use a fresh piece of paper
for each dish.
Avoid kitchen paper
containing manmade fibres.
If you are using branded
recycled kitchen towel, check
first that it is recommended
for microwave use. Do not
use waxed or plastic coated
cups or plates as the finish
may melt.
Greaseproof paper can be
used to line the base of
dishes and to cover when
blind baking pastry cases.
White paper plates can be
used for short re heating
times, on microwave only.
Wicker, Wood, Straw
Baskets
Dishes will crack and could
ignite. Do not use wooden
dishes in your microwave.
Do not use on any cooking
mode.
®
Cling Film
Microwave cling film can
only be used for covering
food that is reheated by
microwave. It is also useful
for covering food to be
cooked, but care should be
taken to avoid the film being
in direct contact with the food
e.g. Do not line dishes with
cling film. Do not use on
any other cooking mode.
Roasting Bags
Roasting bags are useful
when slit up one side to
tent a joint, for roasting by
power and time. Do not use
the metal twists supplied,
when using microwave or
combination.
Aluminium Foil
Small amounts of smooth
aluminium foil can be used to
shield joints of meat during
defrosting and
cook ing by microwave, as
the microwaves cannot pass
through the foil, this prevents
the parts shielded from
overcook ing or
over de frost ing. Take care
that the foil does not touch
the sides or roof of the oven,
as this may cause arcing
and damage your oven.
Aluminium foil can be used
for convection cooking.
