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:	micr owave, convection and combination.

Select		Avoid

Heat resistant glass	Non-	heat resistant glass

Ceramics or china	Metal	trimmed ceramics or china

Pyrex		Metal cookware

such as spatulas

Microwave cookware that is safe	Paper products, straw, wicker and
to 450° F		wood

Handles that are secure	Cookware with loose or broken
		handles

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.

	Do not use metal utensils or pots in the oven.

		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.

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.
