Select your cooking utensils carefully. Do not use utensils which may melt (e.g. plastic).
Take care when using metal utensils not to damage the heating element. Metal handles
might get hot so use oven gloves, or buy utensils with insulated handles.

or tongs.
Not suitable:
wooden or plastic non-heat resistant utensils, knives or other sharp
implements.

state temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit (ºF) use the conversion chart below as a guide.
The maximum basket capacity is 1kg but for the best results, we recommend you
