Cookware tips.

Convection Bake or Roast

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.

Combination 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.
