COOKING HINTS
Experiment. Try various combinations of time and power levels until each of your recipes results in a
perfectly cooked product. Some rules of thumb:
Generally, try to cook as quickly as possible. Cooking for longer periods of time at lower intensities
may reduce the quality of the food.
Consistent preparation and storage of foods to be cooked in the oven will result in consistent
cooking results. If oven settings are developed for a pizza using refrigerated and portioned
ingredients, then this is how the pizza should be prepared every time or the results will vary.
Cooking times should
decrease
if foods are room temperature instead of refrigerated, foods are
more dry and porous, foods are flat or thin, uniform size pieces are cooked, or black cooking pans
are used.
Cooking times should
increase
when foods are thick and/or dense, foods are frozen, the number
of food items in a portion is increased, and foods have high moisture content.
Keep the lamp shields and interior cavity clean. Baked-on grease and food particles will reduce
the efficiency of the oven and affect the cooking process. See the CLEANING section of this
manual.
For best results when experimenting with a new product or recipe, try to start each test cook cycle
from a cool oven.
