Advantium - Cookware Use by Cooking Mode

The type of cooking mode determines what type of cookware to use in an Advantium oven. The Owner's Manual for your specific model is the the source for the proper use of cookware you should and should not use.

 

When you use a preprogrammed selection, the display will scroll a message with which tray to use. The tips below will help you find the best type of cookware to use in each cooking mode. 

 

Microwave-Only

The turntable support must always be in place, and put the food or microwavable container directly on the clear glass tray that comes with your Advantium.

 
  • Use only microwave-safe cookware, such as:
    • Glass cooking dishes without metallic paint. Most of the cooking in our test kitchens was done with Pyrex and Visions cookware.
    • Ceramic mugs, measuring cups, bowls, or plates without metallic trim or paint. Only mugs, bowls, and plates that have a microwave-safe manufacturer's label on the bottom or in the product literature should be used. 
    • Any "safe for use in microwave" plastic or silicone container, when used following the cookware manufacturer's recommendations can be used. Leave the container partially uncovered.
  • Paper towels, wax paper, parchment paper, and plastic wrap can be used. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.
  • Boilable cooking/steaming pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced, or vented as directed by package instructions.
  • Be sure to select a size cookware that will rotate easily.
  • Avoid any metal cookware, utensils, twist ties, etc.
  • DO NOT use the wire rack or metal tray.
  • DO NOT use aluminum foil except as directed in the Owner's Manual.
  • DO NOT use recycled paper products/wax paper, paper products containing nylon, or foam containers.
  • Stoneware is not recommended.
 

Speedcooking

The turntable support must always be in place, and you put your food or oven-safe container directly on the metal tray that comes with the Advantium. Use only the metal tray specified for use with this oven.

 
  • Any non-metal, oven-safe dish, except for silicone and "oven safe" plastic cookware, can be used in your oven. Examples include glass or ceramic casserole dishes, pie plates, and other types or heat-safe cookware and bakeware. Silicone and "oven safe" plastic cookware can't be used because the temperature in the oven can exceed the temperatures recommended by the manufacturers of these types of cookware.
  • Be sure to select a size that will rotate easily. The largest rectangular dish that can be used is an 11" x 7" dish in the over-the-range models and 13" x 9" dish in our wall oven models.
    • The best way to determine whether your pan will fit is to measure it at a diagonal from corner to corner. As the turntable rotates, this is the longest dimension. As long as it is less than the internal dimensions of your Advantium oven cavity, the pan can be used.
  • Food can be placed directly on the metal tray. Use the metal tray as you would use a shallow baking pan or baking tray.
    • Circular pattern - Biscuits, cookies
    • Spoke pattern - Crescent rolls, breadsticks
    • Side by Side pattern - Steaks, pork chops
    • Single layer - Appetizers
  • DO NOT use the wire oven rack for Speedcook.
  • DO NOT cover food with metal lids, opaque oven safe lids, foil, plastic lids, plastic wrap, wax paper, or parchment paper when Speedcooking. Clear glass Pyrex, CorningWare, and similar oven safe lids should be used if food needs to be covered when Speedcooking.
  • DO NOT cover the turntable, metal trays or any part of the oven with metal foil.
  • DO NOT use silicone baking mats.
 

Convection Baking or Broiling, Warming, Proofing, Toasting

The turntable support must always be in place, and put the food directly on the metal tray or place an oven-safe dish on the wire rack. Use only the metal trays and racks specified for use with this oven.

 
  • Any oven-safe dish can be used. Place directly on the metal tray or wire rack.
    • Metal pans are recommended (but not required) for all types of baked products, but especially where browning is important.
    • Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper crust.
    • Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of the glass.
    • Silicone and "oven safe" plastic cookware should not be used because the temperature in the oven exceeds the temperatures recommended by most cookware manufacturers.
  • Use the wire oven rack when Convection Baking or Warming. On models with two rack positions, use the lower rack clips for cooking on one level.
    • Use the top clips for two level baking. Put food or oven-safe cookware directly on the metal tray to Convection Bake, Warm or Toast.
    • Use the metal tray in the same way you would use a shallow baking pan or baking tray. You can use aluminum foil
  • Proofing: Put bread dough in a bowl/bread pan and place on the metal tray to proof.
  • Warming: Crisp foods - leave food uncovered; Moist foods - cover food with lid or aluminum foil.
  • Broil or Toast: For best results, place food directly on the metal tray. For searing/broiling meat, preheat with the metal tray in the oven and place food on the hot metal tray. Use caution when placing meat on the hot tray.
  • When using the Manual Cook mode, the microwave power must be set to ZERO if using any metal cookware other than the tray provided with the appliance.
  • DO NOT cover dishes or use plastic containers, plastic cooking/roasting bags, plastic wrap, wax paper or paper when Broiling or Toasting.
 

Caution: The oven and door will get very hot when Speedcooking, Convection Baking, Broiling, Warming or Toasting. Cookware will become hot. Oven mitts will be needed to handle the cookware.
