Cooking by Temperature
Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.
Use TEMP COOK to cook a
variety of foods to your desired
finished food temperature. The
Cook 1 and Cook 2 time cooking
functions are preferred for batters,
doughs, frozen foods and foods
which are difficult to cook
precisely with the probe.
Temperature cooking takes the
guesswork out of cooking. The
oven automatically switches to
HOLD setting afler reaching the
preset food temperature, if 140"F.
or above, and maintains that
temperature for up to 12 hours or
until you touch the OFF button.

Cooking Tips
@
Use a lower power level; it will
heat more evenly even though
requiring more time.
Be sure frozen food has been
completely defrosted before inserting
probe. Probe may break off if used
in frozen foods.
Cover foods loosely for moisture
control and quick, even heating.
Questions and Answers
Q.
Are there any foods I can't
Temp Cook?
A. Yes. Delicate butter i~ings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc., soften rapidly at warm
temperatures.
Batters, doughs and
frozen foods are also difficult to
cook precisely with the probe. It's
best to use time cooking for these
foods.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the
oven if it's not inserted in food?
A. No, if it touches the oven wall,
you may damage the oven.
