Questions & Answers
Q.
Why
does my oven
automatically cut off after the
Auto cycle when using Auto
Cook code 1, when it does not for
other settings?
A.
When using code 1, there is
no
second phase
of
minutes counting
down.
All
the cooking is completed
in the
first
phase or Auto.
Q. If my food is not completely
cooked after using the suggested
code, what should I do?
A. Use Time Cook I
and
power
level 10
for
a
few
minutes until
completion.
Q. Do all fresh or frozen
vegetables require a standing
period after cooking with Auto
Cook?
A.
Most vegetables are cooked
to a crisp
state
during Auto Cook,
just
as
in regular microwaving,
Therefore, it is recommended that
you let the vegetables stand
for
up
to 5 minutes depending on size
and
density
of
pieces. This standing time
also enhances the overall
tlavor
and
appearance
of most vegetables.
Q. What if
I
don’t fully cover the
dish in Auto Cook?
A. Oven senses
steam
too quickly,
which shortens the cooking time
and leaves food undercooked.
Cover tightly
and
reset Auto Cook.
Q. Do the shapes and sizes of
foods make a difference when
using Auto Cook?
A. Yes, in some cases,
larger
pieces will require additional Time
Cooking. Be sure to check suggested
arrangement
of pieces in the dish,
since proper arrangement is
often
a successful tip in regular
microwaving.
Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetables
require water when using Auto
Cook?
A. Yes.
Add water to the vegetables
as
recommended on guide and cover
well
for
even, complete cooking.
Q. Should
I
use Auto Cook to
cook pudding or sauces?
A. Most pudding and sauce recipes
require stirring many times during
cooking; therefore, Time Cook I
&
11 is recommended.
Q. My scalloped potatoes were
not completely cooked when
I
removed the dish after Auto
Cook. What is wrong?
A.
If
you prepared the sauce in the
oven prior to combining the sauce
with potatoes, there may have been
too
much remaining moisture in
the oven. Make sure you dry the
oven completely
bel.orc
using Auto
Cook since this function operates
properly by sensing steam in
the
oven. Also, starting Auto Cook
with hot
foods
creates steam in the
oven too soon, and decreases the
first
sensing cycle.
Q. Are there any other foods
which are best Time Cooked,
rather than Auto Cooked?
A. Bakery foods, candies.
melted
chocolate or
foods
when a dry or
crisp surface is desirable are
cooked best by Time Cook I & Il.
Q. Would my plastic containers
with very tight fitting lids be
appropriate for Auto Cook?
A. No, most types
of
piastic
storage dishes, butter tubs, etc.
with tight fitting lids
are
not
recommended
for
microwaving.
Also, tight fitting plastic lids may
prevent adequate steam from
esctiping
and
may
keep food
from
cooking properly during Auto Cook.
Q.
1
tried to warm some chow
mein
noodles using Auto Cook.
Why didn’t this work?
A. Food must have some moisture
in
order
to create steam which
helps the auto sensor function.
Extremely dry foods such as chow
mcin
noodles, potato chips and
other such
foods
do not have
enoLlgh
moisture.
Q. May I use Auto Cook when
I
am cooking many foods in more
than one dish or casserole?
A. No. Because
of different
food
densities, attention needed during
cooking
and
food amounts, it is
best to use Time Cook
1
&
II
when cooking many
i’oods.
