• Glass or glass-ceramicbaking 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 plasticis a poor conductor of heat,
Convection Cooking
• Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked
products, but especiallywhere browning or crusting
isimportant.
• Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and
piesbecause they absorb heatand produce a
crisper crust.
• Shinyaluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies,
or muffins because these pans reflectheat and help
producea light,tender crust,
• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or bakingdishes
are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to
