Cookware Suggestions
I
t is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces
already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your
Wolf convection microwave oven. Make sure the utensil
does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
For additional information on cookware or coverings,
check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe
suggestions.
Utensils safe for microwave cooking, convection broiling,
slow cooking, high mix/roasting and low mix/baking:
• Glass ceramic.
• Heat-resistant glass.
• Microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain.
Utensils safe for microwave cooking and reheating:
• Microwave-safe plastics and paper plates.
• Browning dish (do not exceed recommended preheat-
ing time—follow manufacturer’s directions).
• Wood, straw and wicker (use only for a short time
reheating foods that have little fat or sugar in them).
Do not use in microwave-only mode:
• Metal pans and bakeware.
• Dishes with metallic trim.
• Non-heat-resistant glass.
• Non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs).
• Recycled paper products and brown paper bags.
• Food storage bags.
• Metal twist ties.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To check if a dish is safe for
microwave cooking, place the empty dish in the oven and
microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes
very hot, Do not use it for microwave cooking.
I
deal coverings for use in microwave-only mode:
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating
and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave
use. Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so
steam can escape.
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice
because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
• Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods
that need tenderizing. Do not use metal twist ties. Slit
bag so steam can escape.
Using aluminum foil in the microwave oven:
• Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on
the food can be used to shield areas that are either
defrosting or cooking too quickly.
• Foil should not come closer than 1"
(25) to any surface
of the microwave oven.
ACCESSORIES
There are many microwave accessories available for
purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase to be
sure they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermome-
ter will assist you in determining correct doneness and
assure you that foods are cooked to safe temperatures.
Wolf is not responsible for any damage to the microwave
oven when accessories are used.
