Cookware Suggestions
What Should You Consider in Cookware?
Cooking method used determines the cookware that can be used. To simplify choices, use
cookware that is approved for all three cooking methods: microwave, convection and
combination.
Select Avoid
Heat resistant glass Non-heat resistant glass
Ceramics or china Metal trimmed ceramics or china
Pyrex Metal cookware
Heat resistant Teflon utensils, such as
spatulas.
Metal cooking utensils.
Microwave cookware that is safe to
450•F
Paper products, straw, wicker and wood.
. Handles that are secure. Cookware with loose or broken handles.
Do not use metal utensils or pots in the oven.
Covering
A cover will trap heat and steam, causing food to heat more quickly.
Always use a lid approved for both convection and microwave cooking.
Stirring
Redistributes heat in foods. Always stir from the outside toward the
center of the dish.
Piercing
Pierce the shell, skin or membrane of foods before heating to prevent
bursting.
Turning
Large foods should be turned so that the top and bottom heat evenly.
Arrangement
Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer on a dish safe for
combination heating. .
Standing
Time
Foods often need to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after being removed
from the oven. This finishes cooking. Normally an internal temperature
will continue to rise approximately 5 to 10°F during standing time.
Spacing
Arrange individual foods, such as potatoes, in a circle and at least
1 inch apart. This helps food heat more evenly.
