Pizza Pan
THE ʻCONCEPTʼ
Some foods cooked by microwave can have soft and soggy crusts.
Your pizza pan accessory will brown and crisp pizzas, quiches, pies,
breaded products just as a conventional oven. Your Panasonic pizza
pan works in three ways: heating the pan by absorbing microwaves,
heating the food directly by 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.
USING THE PIZZA PAN (Manual operation)
• For best results, pre-heat the pan before using. Place directly
on the glass turntable and pre-heat on 1000W (HIGH power
for 4 minutes). To assist browning, brush the pan with oil before
preheating for items such as sausages and beefburgers.
• Remove the pan from the oven and place the food in the pan.
Use the pizza pan handle or oven gloves as the pan will be
very hot. For best results, it is important that the food is placed
on the pan immediately after pre-heating. Performance
cannot be guaranteed with a time delay.
• Place the pan on the glass turntable and cook according to the
guidelines shown in the cooking chart in the cookbook.
NOTES:
1. Do not pre-heat the pan more than 8 minutes.
2. Always place the pan in the centre of the glass tray and ensure it
does not touch the wall of the oven cavity. Failure to do so, may
cause sparking which would damage the cavity.
3. Always use the pan on the glass turntable. Do not use with the
wire rack.
4. Always use the pizza pan handle or oven gloves when handling
the hot pan.
5. Ensure all food packaging is removed before cooking.
6. Do not place any heat-sensitive materials on the hot pan as this
may cause burning.
7. The pan can be used in a conventional oven.
8. For best results, use the pan in COMBINATION GRILL and
MICROWAVE.
CARE OF THE PAN
• Never use any sharp utensils on the pan as this will damage the
non-stick surface.
• After use, wash the pan in hot soapy water and rinse in hot water.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning substances or scouring pads as
this will damage the surface of the pan.
• The pan is dishwasher safe.
