What Your Oven Can Do

Cooking with your new oven
offers a wide variety of food
preparation options. Microwave
cooking uses very short, high
frequency radio waves. The
movement of the microwaves
through the food generates heat
and cooks most foods faster than
conventional methods, while
retaining their natural texture
and moisture. Microwave
cooking heats food directly, not
the cooking utensil or the interior
of the oven. Reheating is easy and
defrosting is particularly
convenient because less time is
spent in food preparation.
Convection cooking constantly
circulates heated air around the food,
creating even browning and sealed-
in flavor by the constant motion of
hot air over the food surfaces.

Read this book to learn the many different things your Microwave/Convection/Combination Oven can do. You will
find a wide variety of cooking methods and programs designed to suit your lifestyle.
Your new oven also offers the
option of combination cooking,
using microwave energy along with
convection cooking. You cook with
speed and accuracy, while browning
and crisping to perfection.
You can use microwave cooking,
convection cooking or combination
cooking to cook by time. Simply
preset the length of cooking time
desired and your oven turns off
automatically. Or you can cook by
temperature by these methods,
using the temperature probe to
determine the doneness by the
internal temperature of the food.
This method takes the guesswork
out of cooking, shutting the oven
off automatically when the food
reaches the desired temperature.
Convection
Hot air circulates around
energy is dis-
food to produce browned
exteriors and seal in juices.
Circulating heated air.
Heat conducted from
outside of food to inside.
Aids in browning and seals
in flavor. Cooks some foods
faster than conventional
ovens.
Auto Roast is a combination
cooking function that uses the
temperature probe. You simply
select from 8 Auto Roast codes,
and the oven automatically adjusts
power level, oven temperature and
internal food temperature to cook
the food the way you want it.
The Auto Start timer lets you
program the oven to start cooking
at a desired time, even
not at home.
The following guide shows at a
glance the difference between
microwave, convection and
combination cooking.
Combination
Microwave
combine to cook foods in up to one-half
the time of conventional ovens, while
browning and sealing in juices.
Microwave energy and circulating
heated air.
Food heats from instant energy
penetration and heat conducted from
outside of food.
Shortened cooking time for microwave
energy, plus browning and crisping from
convection heat.
