Automatic Cocking Recipe Guide
m
'4utomatic Cooking Control is a
ully automatic electronic control
system that lets your microwave
oven do the cooking for you. The
charts and recipes in this section
are designed to help you make the
most of this feature.
Standard cooking techniques
require setting the oven for a speci-
fied cooking time or a selected fin-
ished temperature. And that means
looking up recipes in a cookbook. . .
trying to convert old recipes for
microwave cooking. . .or just resort-
ing to guesswork. This control
method works on an entirely dif-
ferent basis—with a special elec-
tronic sensor that detects steam
and aromas from cooking food. The
oven "knows" how the food is
cooking; so it can automatically set
the correct cooking time and main-
tain the proper power level for dif-
ferent types and amounts of food.
And it's adjustable to suit your indi-
vidual taste.
Easy to Use
Simply touch two control pads—
AUTO COOK and the desired Code
number—and then START. A chart
on the oven control panel gives a
list of Codes for frequently pre-
pared foods. The display shows
AUTO until steam is sensed and
then signals, and displays time
counting down. During AUTO, oven
should not be opened, but after
oven signals, door may be opened
to check foods if desired. Check the
Automatic Cooking Chart for
suggestions.
Appropriate containers and cover-
ings help assure good cooking
results. Containers should match in
size to the size of the food being
cooked. Coverings such as wax
paper, the lid that came with the
container, or microwave-safe plastic
domes are ideal. For examples of
containers and coverings, see page
10 and the following recipes.
Foods Recommended
A wide variety of foods including meats, fish, casse-
roles, vegetables, leftovers, and convenience foods
can be Auto Cooked. Match container size with the
@
food, cover securely, and do not open door while
AUTO appears on display.
Preference Control
With Preference Control, you can
adjust the Automatic Cooking Fea-
ture to your individual taste by
adding either "l" or "9' after Code
number. If after trying the suggested
Code, you would prefer less cooking
time, simply add the number "l"
after the Code and the oven auto-
matically lessens the cooking time
by 20°/0. If you wish more cooking
time, add "9" after the Code to
increase cooking time by 20°/0.
Automatic Roasting
Automatic Roasting uses the tem-
perature probe rather than the elec-
tronic sensor to cook meats to the
desired degree of doneness. The
oven continually monitors the
food's internal temperature. Unlike
ordinary Temperature Cooking, the
oven changes power levels two or
three times depending on the
degree of doneness during cooking
to give you the best results auto-
matically. After cooking the oven
switches automatically to Hold for
an hour. Food stays warm without
overcooking.
Foods Not Recommended
Recipes and foods which must be cooked uncovered,
or which require constant attention, or adding ingre-
dients during cooking should be microwaved by
TIME COOK. For foods that microwave best using
temperature probe, use TEMP COOK or AUTO
ROAST. Foods requiring a dry or crisp surface after
cooking cook best with TIME COOK.
