Using the Browning Plate
Normally when cooking food, such as pizzas or
pies, on a grill or in a microwave oven, the dough
or pastry becomes soggy. This can be avoided by
using a browning plate. As a high temperature is
reached quickly on the bottom of the browning
plate, the crust turns crisp and brown.
The browning plate can also be used for bacon,
eggs, sausages, etc.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
Use oven gloves at all times as the browning plate
will become very hot.
Never place the browning plate in the oven
without the glass plate.
Do not place any recipients on the browning plate
that are not heat-resistant (plastic bowls for
example).
How to cook with the browning plate:
1. Preheat the browning plate by selecting the
Microwave and Grill function for 3 to 5
minutes with a 600 W microwaves power
level.
2. Brush the browning plate with oil in order to
brown the food nicely.
3. Place the fresh or frozen food directly on the
browning plate.
4. Place the browning plate on the glass
turntable in the microwave oven.
5. Select the Microwaves and Grill function and
the cooking time as described below.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
As the browning plate has a Teflon layer, if you
use it incorrectly, it can be damaged.
Never cut the food on the plate. Remove the food
from the plate prior to cutting.
Cleaning:
The best way to clean the browning plate is to
wash it with hot water and detergent and rinse off
with clean water. Do not use a scrubbing brush or
a hard sponge otherwise the top layer will be
damaged.
