COOKWARE GUIDE
Microwave Cooking
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for
use in the microwave oven.
Testing Cookware Before Using
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 to provide
easy cleanup.

Combination Cooking
• Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are
recommended. Do not use items with metal trim as
they 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.
