Temp Cook - GE JET200 Use And Care Manual

Cooking by Temperature
(Model JET203 only)
For many foods, internal temperature is the best
test of doneness.
Roasts or poultry are cooked to your preference
when temperature cooking. Heating or reheating
foods accurately to a serving temperature you
desire is simple and easy.
TEMP COOK takes the guesswork out of cooking
because the oven shuts off automatically when the
food is done.
The Temperature Probe
The temperature probe is a food thermometer that
gauges the internal temperature of your food; it
must be used when using Temperature Cooking.
Check with your Cookbook for proper placement of
probe in specific foods.

Cooking Tips
Use a lower Power Level set-
ting: it will heat more evenly even
though requiring more time.
. Be sure frozen food has been
completely defrosted before in-
serting probe. Probe may break off
if used in frozen foods.
. Always insert probe into the
center of meaty areas; take care
not to touch the fat or the bone.
Insert probe as horizontally as
possible into foods as directed in
the recipes. Make sure the handle
does not touch the food.
. Use the clip to keep the probe in
place while heating.
. Cover foods as directed in
Cookbook for moisture control and
quick, even heating.
Questions
and Answers
Q. Is temperature cooking better
than time cooking for reheating
leftovers?
A. Yes, this type of food is excel-
lent to heat with the probe because
often the amount of food is not
known, therefore cooking time is
only a guess. Cooking to a preset
temperature (usually 150° ) elimi-
nates the guesswork.
Q. After setting Power Level and
temperature, I pushed START but
the oven did not come on. Why?
A. You must push the TIM E/TEMP
Switch to TEMP when temperature
cooking. Also if probe is not
securely seated or forgotten, oven
will not start. Make sure all con-
trols are set properly.
Q. Are there any foods I can't
Temperature Cook?
A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc., soften rapidly at warm tem-
peratures. Batters and doughs as
well as frozen foods are also diffi-
cult to cook precisely with the
probe. It is best to TIME COOK
these foods.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the
oven if it's not inserted in the food?
A. No. If the probe is left inside the
oven, touching the oven wall, and
not inserted in food, you may
damage the oven.
Q. How do I know what tempera- '
ture to set?
A. Your Cookbook contains sec-
tions on all types of foods showing
the temperatures needed to cook
the foods to different degrees of
doneness. For reheating, refer to
Reheating Charts in the front
of the Cookbook for specific
temperatures.
