Practical Hints (continued)

7)BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS

Microwave browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating times vary depending on the size of the browning dish and food being cooked. Always follow instructions provided by the browning dish or grill manufacturer. DO NOT preheat browning dish more than 8 minutes.

If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. DO NOT use wire twist-tie to close bag. Instead use nylon tie, a piece of cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make six 1⁄2-inch (1.5 cm) slits by closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger than the food being cooked.

8)THERMOMETERS

DO NOT use a conventional meat thermometer for Microwave or Combination cooking. Arcing may occur. DO NOT use a microwave meat thermometer for Combination, Convection Broil or Convection Bake. It may melt.

9)BABY FORMULA / FOOD

DO NOT heat baby formula or food in the microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the food may appear warm while the interior can burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus.

10)REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS

When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any fillings before eating. Some foods have fillings which heat faster and can be extremely hot while the surface remains warm to the touch (ex. Jelly Donuts).

11)GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES / OVEN DOOR

DO NOT use the oven for any reason other than the preparation of food.

DO NOT leave oven unattended while in use.

The oven door and the interior walls will get hot during Combination,Convection Bake and Convection Broil cooking.
