COOKING TIPS

COOKWARE GUIDE

Microwave Cooking

Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven.

However, to test cookware before using, follow these steps:

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 due to the cleanability of glass.

Combination Cooking

Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it 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.
