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 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
metal accessory shelf, damaging the cookware, the
shelf or the oven.

HEAT-RESISTANT PLASTIC microwave cookware
(safe to 400°F.) may be used, but it is not recommended
for foods requiring crusting or all-around browning,
because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

METAL SHELF ACCESSORY

The shelf is required for good air
circulation and even browning
when using Convection and
Combination Cook. Allow at

least one inch between the pan
and the walls of the oven for air circulation.
