Suitable Ovenware - Electrolux EMS2685 Instruction Book

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.

SUITABLE OVENWARE

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
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 to filled with food. It is recommended
2 / 3 /
3 4
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.
