Browning Pan Use

The Browning Pan (sold separately) is specially designed to
brown, crisp, and pan-fry foods in the microwave oven. The
Browning Pan reaches its optimal cooking temperature in
approximately 3 minutes. Use the pan as quickly as possible after
it is heated for best results.
While microwaves heat food from above, they also heat the pan
very quickly from below to brown and crisp the food.
Use high power to preheat the pan and to cook foods such as
bacon, hamburgers, chicken breasts, frozen pizza and
chicken nuggets. Many foods require turning over during
cooking (see chart).
The Browning Pan will become very hot. Use the handle to
grasp and remove the pan from the oven. Do not place hot
Browning Pan directly on heat-sensitive surfaces. Damage
may occur.
Do not use plastic utensils on the pan, as it becomes very hot
quickly and could melt the utensils.
Do not use metal utensils, as they can scratch the pan.
Do not use the pan in any other microwave oven or in a
thermal oven.
Always use the turntable as a support for the pan.
For best results, coat pan lightly with cooking oil to make
removing food and cleaning easier.
