After heating, allow it to stand in the
oven for a short time, stir again before
carefully removing the container.
Paper/plastic
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, check the oven frequently
as these types of containers ignite if
overheated.
Do not use recycled paper products (e.g.
kitchen roll) unless the paper product is
labelled as safe for microwave oven use.
Recycled paper products may contain
impurities which may cause sparks and/or
res during use.

The Panacrunch ʻconceptʼ
Some foods cooked by microwave can have soft and soggy crusts. Your Square Panacrunch
Pan accessory will brown and crisp pizzas, frozen potato products, quiches, pies and breaded
products. Your Square Panacrunch Pan works by heating the pan by absorbing microwaves
and heating the food by the grill. The base of the pan absorbs the microwaves and transfers
them into heat. Then the heat is conducted through the pan to the food. The heating effect is
maximised by the non-stick surface.
