Using Aluminum Foil

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. However, if you have purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the exposed top of the food and not the bottom or the sides. If using aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

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 nish 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 mufns because these pans reect 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.
