www.electrolux.com OPERATION MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware. Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating.
ENGLISH 11 MICROWAVE SAFE COOKWARE Cookware Microwave Comments safe Aluminium foil/ Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from ✔/✘ containers overheating. Keep foil at least 2 cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer. Follow instructions carefully. Browning dishes Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not exceed ✔ heating times given. Be very careful as these dishes become very hot.
