Containers to use
Pottery, earthenware, stoneware
If completely glazed, these dishes are suitable. Do not use if
partially glazed or unglazed, since they are able to absorb
water which in turn absorbs microwave energy, making the
container very hot and slows down the cooking of food.
Foil/metal containers
NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN FOIL OR METAL con tai ners
on Microwave only as the microwaves cannot pass through
and the food will not heat evenly, it may also damage your
oven. Foil and metal containers can be used on GRILL and
CONVECTION. Use wooden kebab sticks instead of metal
skewers.
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. 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.
