Cover
Tip:
Covers are available from retail out-
lets.
– A cover prevents too much steam es-
caping, especially when reheating
foods over a longer period of time.
– It speeds up the heating process of
the food.
– It prevents food from drying out.
– It keeps the oven compartment
clean.
Use a glass or plastic cover suitable
for microwave use for cooking pro-
grammes with the
Microwave
function.
Alternatively, use a cling film suitable
for use in a microwave oven. Heat can
cause normal cling film to distort and
fuse with the food.
The cover should not form a seal
with the container. If the container
has a narrow diameter, the steam
may not be able to escape. The
cover could get too hot and start to
melt.
Use containers with a sufficiently
large diameter.
Do
not
use a cover for reheating the
following types of food:
– Food coated in breadcrumbs
– Food that needs to be heated or
cooked using the
Rapid steam cook-
ing
function.
