Covering the food
Use a cover only during the
Microwave-Solo function. Plastics
are only heat-resistant up to 230°F
(110°C). Higher temperatures
(Broiling, Convection Bake, etc.) can
cause the cover to melt into the
food.
The cover should not completely
seal the container. This may prevent
steam from escaping causing the
cover to melt.
A 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 any loss of aroma.
– prevents soiling of the oven interior.
Selecting cookware
^ Cover the food with a glass or plastic
lid suitable for microwave ovens.
They are 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 lid or cover if:
– cooking food in which a crisp finish is
desired e.g. breaded chicken, garlic
bread, etc.
– a combination function is selected.
