ENGLISH
ware, plastic and other inflammable materi-
als.
–
When cooking cover products with a micro-
wave-safe lid. The lid prevents juice or fat
splattering and provides even cooking of
food.
–
To speed up the cooking process turn over
easy-cooking products (e.g. hamburgers)
once. If slices of meat are large, turn them
over at least twice during cooking.
–
Stir the food during cooking both from top
to bottom and from the center of the dish to
the outside.
COOKWARE CHOOSING
CAUTION!
•
Tightly closed containers placed in the micro-
wave oven may be explosive.
•
Closed containers should be opened, and it is
necessary to make openings in plastic bags
for steam release before putting them into the
microwave oven.
• In case you doubt if the cookware is suitable
for use in the microwave oven, test it.
–
Ideal material for microwave-safe cook-
ware should be “transparent” for micro-
waves, as it allows microwave energy to
pass through and heat the food.
–
Microwaves cannot go through metal; that
is why never use metal cookware or plates
with metal finishing for cooking in the
microwave oven.
–
Do not place recycled (scrap) paper prod-
ucts in the microwave oven, as they may
contain small metal fragments that may
cause package burning.
– Round and oval cookware better suits for
usage in microwave ovens, than rectangu-
lar cookware.
–
Do not use cookware with chops and
cracks.
Cookware testing before using it in a micro-
wave oven
–
Put the test cookware (for instance, a plate)
into the oven cavity; place a glass with cold
water on it.
–
Switch the unit on at the maximal power and
set cooking time for no longer than 1 minute.
–
Carefully touch the test cookware. If it is hot,
and the water in the glass is cold, do not use
this cookware for cooking in the microwave
oven.
–
Do not exceed testing time. Maximal testing
time is 1 minute.
