oven for a specified cooking time or a selectedfin-
ished temperature. And that means looking up
recipes in
a cookbook. . trying to convert old
recipes for microwave cooking. . .cx just resorting
to guesswork. This control method works on an
entirely different basis—with a special electronic
sensor that detects steamfrom cooking food, The
oven “knows” how the foc?dis cooking; so it can
automatically set the correct cooking time and
maintain the proper power I$velfor different types
and amounts of food, And it’s adjustable to suit
your individual taste.
