Paper
Plain white absorbent kitchen paper (kitchen towel) can be used for covering blind pastry cases
and for cover ing bacon to prevent splattering BUT FOR SHORT COOKING TIMES ONLY.
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 in the oven. Greaseproof paper can be used to line the
base of dishes and to cover fatty foods e.g. bacon rashers to stop them splattering. White paper
plates can be used for SHORT RE HEATING TIMES.
Wicker, wood, straw baskets
Do not use these items in your microwave. With continued use and with prolonged exposure
they will crack and could ignite. Do not use wooden dishes in your microwave.
Cling film
Microwave cling film can 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.
Roasting bags
Roasting bags are useful when slit up one side to tent a joint for roasting by power and time. Do
not use the metal twists supplied.
Aluminium foil
Small amounts of smooth aluminium foil can be used to
SHIELD joints of meat during defrosting and cook ing, as the
microwaves cannot pass through the foil, this prevents the
parts shielded from overcook ing or over de frost ing. Take care
that the foil does not touch the sides or roof of the oven, as
this may cause arcing and damage your oven.
