Containers And Materials - Moulinex MO28ES Manual De Usuario

• Attempt to cook or warm up eggs in their shells, hard‐boiled eggs with or
without their shells or snails – they may explode.
• Attempt to cook food in an intact shell (e.g. chestnuts) or hard skin (tomatoes,
potatoes, sausages) – always make a slit.
Food temperatures
The action of microwaves is such that only the food is heated. The container may,
therefore, remain cold or cool while the food that it contains is burning hot.
To avoid any risk of burning, always stir before serving and check the temperature
carefully before serving – especially to children.
Shake feeding bottles well and try a few drops on the back of your wrist to check the
temperature.
Preparing food for cooking
Before warming feeding bottles and small pots, remove teats and covers.
Remember to cover the food in order to:
• avoid any splashing of the oven cavity,
• retain sufficient moisture for cooking.
Heating liquids
When heating liquids, a sudden overflow may occur when you take the container to
remove it from the appliance. In fact, when the temperature reaches boiling point,
steam tends to remain trapped in the liquid until it is disturbed.
To avoid this superheating effect and the consequent risk of scalding, always place a
plastic spoon in the liquid to be heated.
Containers and materials
Below, you will find details of the various types of containers, which can be used or
must not be used for the chosen cooking method.
"micro" mode (microwaves)
Use containers suitable for microwave cooking.
A container can easily be tested for microwave "transparency":
Place the empty container on the turntable together with a glass of water and run
the oven for one minute at maximum power.
After one minute:
• if the container is cold, it is "transparent" and can be used for microwave
cooking,
• if the container is warm or hot it is absorbent and must not be used for
microwave cooking.
Never use hermetically sealed containers.
