Setup

Before first use, wash the Litton Micro-Browner dish thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth. Ensure the dish is completely dry before placing it in the microwave oven.

Important Safety Note: Always handle the browning dish with oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves, as it will become extremely hot during use.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective browning with your Litton Micro-Browner dish:

1. Preheating the Dish: Place the empty Litton Micro-Browner dish in your microwave oven. Heat on HIGH power for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the browning surface is very hot. The exact time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage.
2. Adding Food: Carefully remove the hot dish from the microwave using oven mitts. Quickly place the food you wish to brown (e.g., bacon, sausages, chicken pieces, sandwiches) directly onto the hot browning surface.
3. Microwave Cooking: Return the dish with food to the microwave. Cook on HIGH power according to your recipe or until desired browning is achieved. Cooking times will vary based on the type and quantity of food.
4. Turning Food: For even browning, it may be necessary to turn the food halfway through the cooking process.
5. Removal: Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the dish from the microwave using oven mitts. Transfer food to a serving plate.

Tip: For best results, avoid overcrowding the browning surface. Cook in batches if necessary.
