COOKWARE GUIDE
Microwave Cooking
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for
use in your microwave oven.
However, to test cookware before using, foilow these
steps:
1. Piace the empty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup ot water in a glass measuring cup
and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power tor 1 minute. If the dish
is warm, it should not be used tor microwave
cooking.
Combination Cooking
• Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are
recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal
trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall
or oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf or
the oven.
• Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to
450°F) may be used, but is not recommended for
foods that require crusting or all-around browning,
because plastic is a poor conductor of heat.
Convection Cooking
• Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked
products, but especially where browning or crusting
is important.
• Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and
pies because they absorb heat and produce a
crisper crust.
• Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies,
or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help
produce a light, tender crust.
• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes
are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to
the cleanability of glass.
