Only use for short cooking times.
Never re-use a piece of kitchen
towel. Always use a fresh piece
of paper for each dish.
Avoid kitchen paper containing
manmade fibres. If you are using
branded re-cycled kitchen towel,
check first that it is recommended
for microwave use. Do not use
waxed or plastic coated cups or
plates as the finish may melt.
Greaseproof paper can be used
to line the base of dishes and to
cover when blind baking pastry
cases. White paper plates can be

Cling Film
Microwave cling film can only
be used for covering food that is
reheated by microwave. It is also
useful for covering food to be
cooked, but care should be taken to
avoid the film being in direct contact
with the food eg. Do not line dishes
with cling film.
Do not use on any
other cooking mode.
Aluminium Foil
Small amounts of smooth aluminium
foil can be used to shield joints of
meat during defrosting and cooking
by Microwave, as the microwaves
cannot pass through the foil, this
prevents the parts shielded from
overcooking or over defrosting. Take
care that the foil does not touch the
sides or roof of the oven, as this
may cause arcing and damage your
oven. Aluminium foil can be used for
Oven cooking.
Roasting Bags
Roasting bags are useful when
slit up one side to tent a joint,
for roasting by microwave and
time. Do not use the metal twists
supplied, when using Microwave or
Combination.
