HIGH SPEED
COOKING
High Speed Cooking uses the broil element, convection element
and fan and microwaves. All cycle on and off in intervals.
Bakeware and the interior oven surfaces, including the door,
will become hot.
Always use an instant read meat thermometer to determine
doneness of meat and poultry.
Use non-metallic, oven proof glass, ceramic or plastic
approved for conventional oven use.
Covers are not necessary unless recommended in recipe.
If recommended, use a casserole dish and its lid for optimal
results.
Do not use covers or containers made of foil, paper, waxed
paper or plastic not recommended for use in a conventional
oven.
When roasting, meats and poultry will spatter. Plastic oven
bags designed for conventional oven use can be used for
easier cleanup. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
When using the crisper pan or convection grid, place them
directly on the turntable.
Select tender cuts of meat for optimal cooking results.
Arrange pieces of food in a single layer on the crisper pan or
baking dish.
