Convection Bake Cooking or Warming

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 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.

Convection Roast 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 it is not recommended for foods

requiring crusting or all-around browning, because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.
