COOKWARE GUIDE Microwave Cooking Most heat-resistant, nonmetallic ceokware is safe for use in your microwave oveR. However, to test ceokware before using, follow these steps: 1. Place the empty ceokware in the microwave oven. 2. Measure 1 cup (250 ml) 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 due to the cleanability of glass. Combination Cooking • Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are recommended. De not use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven rack, damaging the coekware, the rack, or the oven. • Heat-resistant plastic microwave coekware (safe to 450°F (230°C) may be used, but is net recommended for foods that require crusting or all-around browning, because plastic is a poor conductor of heat.
