the door is opened the oven loses heat and this can cause
uneven baking.

Cookware Tips
Convection Cooking
Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked
products,but especially where browning or crusting is
important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies
because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins
because these pans reflect heat and help produce a light
tender crust.
Glass or Glass-Ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best
suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of
glass.
Combination Cooking
Glass or Glass-Ceramic baking containers are
recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as
it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf,
damaging the cookware, the shelf or the oven.
