AUTO COOK
(continued)
Questiom & Amwers
Q. Why does my oven
A.
automatically cut off after the
Auto cycle when using Auto
Cook code 1, when it does not
for other settings?
When
using
code 1, there is
no second
~hase
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 flavor 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 & II 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
before 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 & II.
Q. Would my plastic containers
with very tight fitting lids be
appropriate for Auto Cook?
A. No,
most types of plastic
storage dishes, butter tubs, etc.
with tight fitting lids are not
recommended for microwaving.
Also, tight fitting plastic lids
may prevent adequate steam
from escaping and may keep
food from cooking properly
during Auto Cook.
Q. I 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
mein
noodles, potato
chips and other such foods do
not have enough 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
I
& 11 when
cooking many foods.
