Cover
Tip:
Covers are available from retail
outlets.
- A cover prevents too much steam
escaping, especially when cooking
foods which need longer to cook.
- It speeds up the heating process of
the food.
- It prevents food from drying out.
- It helps keep the oven cavity clean.
Use a glass or plastic cover suitable
for microwave use for cooking
processes with the
Microwave
operating mode.
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 can withstand
temperatures of up to 230°F (110°C).
At higher temperatures (e.g., in the
Maxi Broil
or
Convection Bake
/
Convection Roast
functions), the
plastic may distort and fuse with the
food.
Only use a cover for the
Microwave
operating mode.
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 which requires a crisp finish,
e.g. toast
- food which is to be heated with the
