Cooking by Temperature
Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.
Use Temp Cook to cook a variety
of foods to the desired finished
food temperature. The Time
Cook setting is recommended for
batters, doughs, frozen foods and
foods which are difficult to cook
precisely with the probe.
Temp Cook takes the guesswork
out of cooking, because the oven
automatically switches to "Hold"
setting after reaching the preset
food temperature and maintains
that temperature until you touch
the PAUSE/CANCEL pad or open
the door,
Note: Oven automatically switches
to "Hold" when preset food
temperature is reached.
The Temperature Probe
The temperature probe is a food
thermometer that gauges the
internal temperature of your food.
(Its appearance may vary from
picture above.) The probe must be
used when using Temp Cook. To
use your probe properly in a roast,
follow directions below.
Place tender beef roast in cooking
bag on trivet in microwave-safe
dish. (Refer to package instructions
for proper use of cooking bag.)
Insert probe through cooking bag
horizontally into the center meaty
–
area not touching bone or fat.
Make sure the handle does not
touch the food or top or sides of
the oven.
Place pork roast in cooking bag
and place in microwave-safe dish.
Place meat in the oven. Insert cable
end of probe firmly into the outlet.

Questions and Answers
Q. Are there any foods I can't
Temp Cook?
A. Yes. You can't Temp Cook
foods that are not completely
defrosted. Also, do not Temp Cook
delicate butter icings, ice cream,
frozen whipped toppings, etc.,
because they soften rapidly at
warm temperatures. It is also best
to Time Cook batters and doughs
because they are difficult to cook
precisely with the probe.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the
oven if it's not inserted in food?
A. No, if it touches the oven wall,
it may damage the oven.
