Utensil Guide
It is strongly recommended to use suitable and safe containers for microwave cooking. In general, heat-resistant plastic, glass or ceramic containers are suitable for microwave cooking. Never use a metal container for microwave or combination cooking, as there is a strong risk of sparking. You can consult the table below for information.

Defrost tips
Microwaves penetrate about 4cm into most foods. To maximize the efficiency of thawing, it is recommended:

1.  For thick and coarse foods, turn them regularly while using the oven so that they are evenly heated.
2. For foods over 0.5 kg, it is advisable to turn them at least twice.
3. For thawed foods should be eaten as soon as possible, it is not recommended to put them back in the refrigerator or refreeze them.

Cooking Tips
The following factors can affect the cooking result:
Food position
Place the thicker areas towards the outside of the dish and the thinner parts towards the center of the dish, distributing the food evenly. If possible, do not overlap them.
Cooking times
Start cooking for a short period, evaluate the result at the end of this period and extend it according to the desired result. Overcooking can generate smoke and char the food.
Cook food evenly
Foods such as chicken, ground steaks and ribs should be turned once during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if applicable, mix them from the outside to the center of the dish once or twice during cooking.
Leave a rest period
Once cooking is complete, let the food sit in the oven for an appropriate amount of time, this allows the cooking cycle to finalize and the food to cool gradually.

Assess whether the food is cooked
The color and hardness of foods help determine if they are cooked, this includes:

• Steam coming out of all parts food, not just edges.
• The joints of poultry can be moved easily.
• Pork or poultry does not contain traces of blood.
• The fish is opaque and can be easily cut with a fork.

Browning dish
When using a browning pan or self-heating pan, always place it on heat- resistant insulation (eg porcelain pan) to prevent damage to the turntable and guide ring.
Microwave-compatible plastic film
When cooking very fatty foods, take care that the plastic film does not come into contact with the food, as it may melt.
Microwave-safe plastic cookware
Some microwave-safe plastic utensils may not be suitable for cooking very fatty or very sweet foods. In addition, the preheating time specified in the instructions for use of the dish must not be exceeded.
