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/MET
AL CONTAINERS
NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN FOIL OR METAL
containers on Microwave only as the microwaves
cannot pass through and the food will not heat evenly,
it may also damage your oven. You can only reheat in
shallow foil containers for short periods of time if the
food completely covers the base of the container. Also
take care that the containers do not touch the oven
walls or door. Foil and metal containers can be used
on Grill and Convection modes and may be used with
care during certain Combination cooking, as long as
they are not damaged or dented.
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 cooking by
Microwave, as the microwaves cannot pass through the
foil, this prevents the parts shielded from overcooking or
overdefrosting. 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.
