Suitable containers for microwave ovens
35
A heat-retaining cover
– prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods with
longer reheating times.
– speeds up the reheating process.
– prevents food from drying out.
– helps keep the oven compartment
clean.
 When using Microwave Solo mode,
always cover food with a microwave-
safe heat-retaining cover.
Suitable heat-retaining covers are
available from retail outlets.
You can use a cling film recommended
for use in a microwave oven instead of
the cover. Heat can cause normal cling
film to distort and fuse with the food.

Damage due to heat-sensitive
plastic.
The material of the cover can
generally withstand temperatures of
up to 110 °C (see manufacturer
information). At higher temperatures
the plastic can distort and fuse with
the food.
The cover may therefore only be
used in microwave ovens and only in
Microwave Solo mode.

Damage due to covered
openings.
If the cover is used with a container
with a small diameter, the cover
could form a seal around the
container and steam may not be able
to escape through the openings in
the side of the cover. The cover
could get too hot and could start to
melt.
Make sure that the cover does not
form a seal.
Do not use a heat-retaining cover if:
– food coated with breadcrumbs is
being heated.
– cooking food which needs a crisp
finish, e.g. toast.
