Suitable containers for microwave ovens
34
A heat-retaining cover
- prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods with
longer reheating times.
- speeds up the reheating process.
- prevents food from drying out.
- helps keep the oven compartment
clean.
When using Microwave Solo mode,
always cover food with a microwave-
safe heat-retaining cover.
Suitable heat-retaining covers are
available from retail outlets.
You can use a cling film recommended
for use in a microwave oven instead of
the cover. Heat can cause normal cling
film to distort and fuse with the food.
Damage due to heat-sensitive
plastic.
The material of the cover can generally
withstand temperatures of up to
110°C (see manufacturer information).
At higher temperatures the plastic can
distort and fuse with the food.
The cover may therefore only be
used in microwave ovens and only in
Microwave Solo mode.
Damage due to covered
openings.
If the cover is used with a container
with a small diameter, the cover
could form a seal around the
container and steam may not be able
to escape through the openings in
the side of the cover. The cover
could get too hot and could start to
melt.
Make sure that the cover does not
form a seal.
Do not use a heat-retaining cover if:
- food coated with breadcrumbs is
being heated.
- cooking food which needs a crisp
finish, e.g. toast.
Danger of explosion due to
pressure build-up.
Pressure can build up during
reheating in sealed containers or
bottles, causing them to explode.
Sealed glass containers, such as jars
of baby food, must be opened before
they are heated in the microwave
oven. Do not attempt to heat them
up unopened. With baby bottles, the
screw top and teat must be taken
off.
