COOKWARE GUIDE
Microwave Cooking
Most heat-resistant, non-metalliccookware is safe for
use in your microwave oven,
However,to test cookware before using, follow these
steps:
1,Place theempty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup ofwater in a glass measuring cup
and place it in the oven besidethe cookware,
3, Microwave on 100% power for 1minute. Ifthe dish
iswarm, it should not be used for microwave
cooking,
Combination Cooking
• Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are
recommended, Be sure not touse items with metal
trim as it may cause arcing(sparking) with oven wall
or oven shelf, damaging thecookware, the shelf or
the oven.
• Heat-resistantplastic microwave cookware (safe to
450°F) may be used, but isnot recommended for
foods that requirecrusting or all-around browning,
because plastic is a poor conductor of heat,
Convection Cooking
• Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked
products, butespeciallywhere browning or crusting
isimportant.
• Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and
piesbecause they absorb heatand produce a
crisper crust.
• Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies,
or muffins because these pans reflectheat and help
producea light,tender crust,
• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes
are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to
the cleanabilityof glass,
