Using metal rack/metal baking dishes in a microwave/convetion ove
Comments (5)I have 67909 model and the manual (pg 9) shows that you need to use the turntable for all modes and the metal rack for convection & combination only. In combination (which I haven't done yet) you need the turntable, rack and microwave safe/oven safe cookware (e.g. corning ware, pyrex). In convection only you can use metal. Hope this helps...and yes, you really had to flip around the manual to confirm this!...See Morewhat type of dishes do you like to use in microwave
Comments (20)BE CAREFUL!! You should never heat water in Pyrex in the microwave without a disturber in the water. A bamboo skewer is a good choice. If you don't have something with an irregular surface that the bubbles can form on, the water can look like it's not boiling at all, and can get superheated. The superheated water can explode out of the cup. Pyrex is too smooth. Fine for pie or even soup, but put something tall enough to go from the bottom to the top of the cup in it, if you're going to heat water, or put a spoon in it before doing anything else with it, to let the bubbles out. Pyrex used to be borosilicate glass. You can still get Pyrex branded borosilicate in other countries, with the name licensed by the makers. In the U.S. (PA), it's now made by a separate company from Corning, and is tempered soda-lime glass, which is supposed to be harder to break but less heat resistant. It's not inferior in quality, just different in properties, and Corning was also selling tempered soda-lime glass, besides the borosilicate, for decades before they spun off Pyrex, so age doesn't tell the whole story....See MoreEveryday dishes -- can you help me find them
Comments (18)I am getting food service dishes from Niagara Ceramics from a restaurant supply store. This company is the former 'Buffalo China', post management buy-out. The downside is that you have to order at least a dozen dishes of most things, sometimes 3 dozen. Pros are the stuff looks nice, is practically indestructible (does NOT chip), has a glazed foot (so it won't scratch surfaces as easily), and comes in a wide variety of sizes. There are many different styles. Looking at the downloadable catalog, it looks like they do not have square plates, but will post this anyway in case others are interested. Their more modern style is 'coupe'. Here is a link to their online catalog; contact your local restaurant supply store for prices. Note: Do not confuse 'Niagara China' and vintage 'Buffalo China' with other 'Buffalo China' sold in the market today-- that stuff is cheap quality made overseas. Niagara China's products have been made in Buffalo, NY for decades. Here is a link that might be useful: Niagara Ceramics...See MoreEveryday dishes?
Comments (34)I had beautiful everyday china, that I sold, during one of the many moves while I was married. I used the china my mother in law put Jerry's initials on, back in her china painting days, instead for every day dishes then. After the divorce I no longer wanted to keep those dishes. First I used a set from my friend, stoneware. It was really to heavy for my liking. Another friend of mine has Corelle. I always liked the light weight of them. I searched, and searched, and found the all white, (winterwhite) online last year through walmart, for half price the day after Thanksgiving. I ordered two sets. and two sets of bowls. I LOVE them. Nice and light weight, and I bought some soup plates at walmart later to complete my set for me. :) Oh, yeah, the sets I bought at that Thanksgiving, had stoneware mugs made in China, I gave them away. Didn't need any mugs anyway. :) You might want to wait for a sale during TG? Moni...See Morefairegold
