Cookware Tips
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
crisper crusts.
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

mended. Be sure not to use items
with metal trim as it may cause
arcing (sparking) with oven wall or
oven rack, damaging the utensil,
the rack or the oven.
1Some recipes may call for cooking on
this oven rack, but generally micro-
waved foods should be cooked directly
on the ceramic tray. See Cookbook for
specific instructions.
21t is suggested that ceramic tray be
removed during convection cooking,
since it absorbs heat and reduces
energy efficiency. If boil-over occurs,
there will be fewer items to clean up.
