Cover
A cover:
– prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
nee
d longer to cook.
– speeds up the cooking process.
– prevents food from drying out.
– helps keep the oven interior clean.
When usin
g the Microwave solo
function always cover the food
with a lid or cover made of
microwave safe glass or plastic.
These are available from retail outlets.
Alternatively, use a clingfilm
r
ecommended for use in a microwave
oven (pierce as instructed by the
manufacturer). Heat can cause normal
clingfilm to distort and fuse with the
food.
