Convection Cooking
Metal pans are recom-
mended for all types of
baked products.
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.
Use glass or glass-ceramic
casserole or baking dishes
for egg and cheese recipes
because they are easier to
clean.
Combination Cooking
Use glass or glass-ceramic
baking containers. Do not
use cookware with metal
trim. It may cause arcing
which can damage the
cookware, the shelf or the
oven.
Heat-resistant plastic
microwave cookware (safe
to 400°F.) may be used.
