MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS COOKWARE GUIDE Microwave Cooking Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in the microwave oven. Testing Cookware Before Using 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 finish 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 muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a light, tender crust. • Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes to provide easy cleanup. Combination Cooking • Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are recommended. Do not use items with metal trim as they 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.
