What's a crisp function and how does it work?
Does your microwave have a crisp function? You can easily give your dishes a crispy layer. The crisp function works with a special crisp plate or crisper dish. You can speed up the baking process for an extra crispy result. In this article, you can read how this microwave function works and what you can use it for.
What's a crisp function?
A crisp function is a special microwave function that uses the microwave function and the grill. This way, you can provide your dishes with a crispy layer quickly. The crisp plate heats up extra fast, and it heats the dish from the bottom. You can use this function for a crispy crust on your pizza, but also for a crispy layer on your lasagna, chicken, or a delicious oven dish. You can also use the crisp function to make your oven fries extra crispy.
What's a crisp plate?
To use the crisp function, you need a crisp dish or crisp plate. This is often included with the product. If that's not he case, you have to buy it separately. Many crip plates are made of ferrite. This material heats the plate to a temperature of 210°C in 2 minutes. The dish has a non-stick coating, so your meals won't stick to the bottom. This allows you to easily clean the plate or to place it in the dishwasher.
How does it work?
Place your dish on the crisp plate and turn on the crisp function. The grill function grills the top of your dish, while the crisp plate heats your dish from the bottom at a high temperature. This way, your meal gets a crusty top and a crispy bottom. The crisp plate and crisp function speed up the preparation process, so you can prepare a crispy dish in less time.
