Crisp
The Crisp feature uses the broil element and microwaves to crisp
and brown foods. Crisp can be used to saute meats and
vegetables, pan-fry bacon and eggs, and to crisp and brown
pizza and french fries. Always use the crisper pan. See the
“Crisper Pan and Handle” section before using.
The crisper pan will become very hot. Use oven mitts or
detachable handle to grasp and remove the pan from the
oven.
Do not place hot crisper pan directly on heat-sensitive
surfaces. Damage may occur.
Do not use plastic utensils on the crisper pan, as it becomes
very hot quickly and could melt the utensils.
Do not use metal utensils, as they can scratch the pan.
Do not use the crisper pan in any other microwave oven or in
a standard thermal oven.
Do not place the crisper pan on the convection rack or the
baking tray. Always use the turntable as a support for the
pan.
Always use the turntable “On” option when crisping (default
setting).
To Crisp:
Before Crisping, brush crisper pan with ½ tsp (3 mL) of oil or
spray with nonstick cooking spray. For best results, the crisper
pan should be preheated for 3 minutes. Arrange food on crisper
pan, and place pan on turntable.
1. Touch CRISP.
The “Use Crisp Pan” prompt will appear momentarily in the
