Surface cooking _

Using the warming center
The
warming center
, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food
at serving temperature.
CAUTION
Do not warm food on the warming center for more than two hours.
Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warming center as
cookware and plates will be hot.
When warming pastries and breads the cover should have an opening to allow
moisture to escape.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very
diffi cult to clean.
Food should be kept in its container and covered with a lid or aluminum foil to
maintain food quality.
Always start with hot food. Eating uncooked or cold food placed on the warming
center could result in illness.
