Selecting containers for microwave use

Placing the dish in the oven
Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1.
The dish containing the food should
always be placed in the middle of the
glass tray.
Placing the food directly on the floor
of the oven would give unsatisfactory
and uneven results as the microwaves
would not be able to reach the food
from below.
Cover
The cover:
– prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
need longer to cook, such as
potatoes.
– speeds up the reheating process.
– prevents food from drying out.
– helps keep the oven interior clean.
When using Microwave Solo
always cover the food with a lid or
cover made of microwave safe glass
or plastic.
Suitable covers are available from
retail outlets.
Alternatively, use a clingfilm
recommended for use in a microwave
oven (pierce as instructed by the
manufacturer). Heat can cause normal
clingfilm to distort and fuse with the
food.
