Practical Hints (continued)
7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS
Microwave browning dishes or grills are designed
for microwave cooking only. Preheating times
vary depending on the size of the browning dish
and food being cooked. Always follow instructions
provided by the browning dish or grill
manufacturer. DO NOT preheat browning dish
more than 8 minutes.
If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave
cooking, prepare according to package
directions. DO NOT use wire twist-tie to close
bag. Instead use nylon tie, a piece of cotton
string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag.
Make six
1
⁄2-inch (1.5 cm) slits by closure. Place
oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger than the
food being cooked.
8) THERMOMETERS
DO NOT use a conventional meat thermometer
for Microwave or Combination cooking. Arcing
may occur. DO NOT use a microwave meat
thermometer for Combination, Convection
Broil or Convection Bake. It may melt.
9) BABY FORMULA / FOOD
DO NOT heat baby formula or food in the
microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the
food may appear warm while the interior can
burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus.
10) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS
When reheating pastry products, check
temperatures of any fillings before eating. Some
foods have fillings which heat faster and can be
extremely hot while the surface remains warm to
the touch (ex. Jelly Donuts).
11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES / OVEN
DOOR
DO NOT use the oven for any reason other than
the preparation of food.
DO NOT leave oven unattended while in use.
The oven door and the interior walls will get hot
during Combination,Convection Bake and
Convection Broil cooking.
