Cookware Suggestions
Cooking method used determines the cookware that can be used. To simplify choices, use cookware that is approved
for all three cooking methods: microwave, convection and combination.
Canning
Canning is not recommended in
microwave or combination ovens.
When heating liquids in the micro-
wave oven, especially for extended
periods of time, superheating can
occur. This condition may result in
boil over or possible eruption when
the liquid is disturbed or a jar is
sealed.
Damage incurred by canning, or
attempting to can, using the oven is
not covered under warranty.
Oven Rack
A metal rack is provided with the
oven for use in convection oven
mode. Metal racks should not be
used in the oven during microwave or
combination mode. Metal will cause
arcing, which could result in damage
to the oven.
Popcorn
Popcorn should only be cooked in a
specially designed microwave pop-
corn popper or in a commercially pre-
pared microwave-safe popcorn bag.
Do not use a popper designed to
focus or concentrate energy or heat.
Popcorn should also be popped only
while oven is in microwave mode. If
convection heat is present, popcorn
may scorch, burn or catch fire.

Cooking hints
Covering A cover will trap heat and steam, causing food to heat more
quickly. Always use a lid approved for both convection and
microwave cooking.
Stirring Redistributes heat in foods. Always stir from the outside
toward the center of the dish.
Piercing Pierce the shell, skin or membrane of foods before heating to
prevent bursting.
Turning Large foods should be turned so that the top and bottom heat
evenly.
Arrangement Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer on a dish safe for
combination heating.
Standing Foods often need to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after being
Time removed from the oven. This finishes cooking. Normally an
internal temperature will continue to rise approximately 5 to
10° F during standing time.
Spacing Arrange individual foods, such as potatoes, in a circle and at
least 1 inch apart. This helps food heat more evenly.
