 Damage due to heat-sensitive
plastic.
Plastic containers must be heat-res-
istant to a minimum of 110°C. Oth-
erwise the plastic may warp and fuse
with the food.
Use only plastic containers suitable
for use with Microwave Solo.
Special plastic containers designed for
use in microwave ovens are available
from specialist retail outlets.
Melamine containers are unsuitable.
Melamine absorbs microwave energy
and gets hot. When purchasing plastic
containers, make sure that they are
suitable for use in a microwave oven.
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from polystyrene, can only be
used to reheat food for a short time.
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and reheating. They should
be pierced beforehand. The holes al-
low the steam to escape. This pre-
vents a build-up of pressure from
forming and the bag from bursting.
There are also special bags available for
steam cooking which do not need to be
pierced. Please follow instructions given
on the packet.
