Cookware tips.
Bake
MetaJ Pmls are recommended fi)r all types of baked products, but especially where
browning is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best fi)r breads and pies because they absorb heat and
produce crisper crust,
Shiny ahmfinum i)ans are better fi)r cakes, cookies or muffins because they reflect heat
and hel I) produce a light tender crust,
Glass or Glass-Ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited fi)r egg and cheese
recipes due to the cleanabili Vof glass,
FastBake
Glass or Glass-Cermnic baking containet_ are recommended. Be sure not to use items with
metal trim as it may cause arcing (S.l)arkin,,_ with oxen wall or oxen shelf. This can damage
the cookware, the shelf or the oxen.
Heat-Resistm_t Plastic microwaxe cookware (sate to 450 °F) may be used, but it is not
recoinnlended fi)r foods requiting all-arotmd browning, because the plastic is a poor
