Helpful hints for combination
cooking:
* Meats may be roasted directly on the Bi-
Level Cooking Rack or in a shallow
roasting pan placed on the rack, on the
turntable. When using the Bi-Leve] Cook-
ing Rack, please check your cookbook for
information on proper use.
• Less tender cuts of beef can be masted
and tenderized using oven cooking bags.
• When baking, check for doneness after
cooking time is up. If not completely done,
let stand in oven for a few minutes to
complete cooking.
NOTE: During combination baking, some
baking utensils may cause arcing when they
come in contact with the oven walls or metal
accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of
electricity that occurs when microwaves
come in contact with metal. If arcing occurs,
place a heatproof dish between the pan and
the Bi-Level Cooking Rack, If arcing occurs
with other baking utensils, stop using them
for combination cooking.
Combination microwave/convection
Sometimes combination microwave-convec-
tion cooking is suggested to get the proper
cooking results. It shortens the cooking time
for foods that normally need a long time to
cook. This cooking process also leaves
meats juicy on the inside and crispy on the
outside. In combination cooking, the convec-
tion heat and microwave energy alternate
automatically. Your oven has two pro-
programmed settings that make it easy to
cook with both convection heat and micro-
wave energy automatically.
