Cookware tips.

Bake

Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where browning is important.

Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.

Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because they reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.

Glass or Glass-Ceramiccasserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.

Fast Bake

Glass or Glass-Ceramicbaking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf. This can damage the cookware, the shelf or the oven.

Heat-Resistant Plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450°F) may be used, but it is not recommended for foods requiring all-around browning, because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

Cookware and food placement suggestions.

Consumer Support

Correct shelf position

Incorrect shelf position

■In Microwave mode, the food should always be cooked on the glass turntable tray. Microwave mode should not be used with the metal shelf in the oven.

■The metal shelf should always be used when cooking in Bake or Fast Bake modes so that heated air will brown the bottom of the food. The glass turntable can be left in place in Bake and Fast Bake modes.

■For best cooking performance in Bake or Fast Bake modes, leave at least a one inch gap between the cooking dish and the sides of the oven.

■For best cooking performance in Bake or Fast Bake modes, always place the shelf in the “low” position.

■Placing the shelf in the “high” position will cause the top of the food to brown/ cook much faster than the interior and bottom of the food.
