Helpful Hints for Convection and Automatic
Mix Cooking
Your Sharp Convection Microwave Oven can
cook any food perfectly because of the number of
ways it can cook: microwave only, automatic mix,
convection only or broil. The cookbook that comes
with your oven has excellent instructions,
guidelines, hints, charts and recipes to help you
get the best use of your oven. Consult it often until
you are familiar with it. This Operation Manual
tells you how to program the oven.
The oven cannot be used without the turntable in
place. Never restrict the movement of the
turntable.
Convection Cooking:
1. When preheating, the turntable can be left in
or removed. When using the high rack for 2
shelf baking in a preheated oven, it is easier to
remove the turntable for preheat.
Place high rack on turntable along with foods.
When preheat is over, open oven door and
quickly place turntable, high rack and foods to
be baked inside.
2. Do not cover turntable, low rack or high rack
with aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow
that cooks food.
3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking
utensils for many convection-only items.
Choose pans that do not have extended
handles.
4. Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled
appearance to steaks, hot dogs etc.
Automatic Mix Cooking:
1. Meats are best when roasted directly on the
low rack. A dish can be placed below the meat
if gravy is to be made from the drippings.
2. Less tender cuts of meat can be roasted and
tenderized using oven cooking bags.
3. When baking, check for doneness after time
has elapsed. If not completely done, let stand
in oven a few minutes to complete cooking.
NOTE:
During mix baking some metal baking utensils
may cause arcing when they come in contact with
the turntable, oven walls or accessory racks.
Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs
when microwaves come in contact with metal.
If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish (Pyrex
®
pie plate, glass pizza dish or dinner plate) between
the pan and the turntable or rack. If arcing occurs
with other metal baking utensils, discontinue their
use for mix cooking.
