Operating your Breville ikon™ Microwave Oven

hints and tips for microwave cooking
• Foods that are high in liquid, fat and sugar
cook well in the Breville ikon™ Microwave
Oven.
• Drier foods require shorter cooking time.
• Always arrange food carefully. Place the
thickest areas towards the outside of the
dish.
• Place smaller items, such as 1-cup drinks,
towards the outer edge of the glass turntable
tray.
• Place larger items, such as chicken or cake,
in the centre of the glass turntable tray.
• Larger items, such as chicken or cake, should
be raised on a microwave-safe rack for more
even cooking.
• Pay close attention to the cooking time. Cook
for the shortest amount of time indicated
and add more time as needed. Food that is
severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods loosely with vented lids or
microwave safe plastic wrap while heating or
cooking. Covering foods prevent splattering
and helps foods cook evenly.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to
speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be
turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the centre of the dish to the outside.

Microwave utensils

• Containers, plates, dishes, etc. used in the
Breville ikon™ Microwave Oven should
always be microwave-safe. Check if stated
on the underside of the utensil or contact the
manufacturer.
• To test if a container, plate or dish
is microwave-safe, place it into the
microwave oven with 1 cup of cold water
(in a microwave-safe cup) and heat on High
(100%) Power for 1 minute. If the container
is hot and the water is cold, the container is
not suitable for microwave oven use. If the
container is cold and the water is hot, then
the container is suitable for microwave oven
use.
• Metal containers and utensils should not be
used in the Breville ikon™ Microwave Oven.
