COOKING TIPS
COOKWARE GUIDE
Microwave Cooking
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for
use in your microwave oven.
However, to test cookware before using, follow these
steps:
1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup
and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the
dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave
cooking.
Convection Cooking
Metal Pans are recommended for all types of
baked products, but especially where browning or
crusting is important.
Dark or dull nish 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 muns because these pans reect 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.

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.
