Keep Warm - KitchenAid KCO273 Use And Care Manual

COOKING MODES
BROIL
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook
food from above. The Even-Heat™ system
will distribute power to all three top
heating elements to deliver two levels
of efficient broiling. The bottom elements
will not be on.
Convection mode can be used with thin
cuts of fish, eliminating the need for
flipping.
Broil mode tips
• For best results, use the 12" (30 cm)
multipurpose pan and rack. It is designed
to drain juices and help avoid spatter
and smoke.
• For proper draining, do not cover the
rack with foil. Instead, the bottom of
the multipurpose pan may be lined with
aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
• Foods cooked under the broiler will burn
very quickly if not monitored near the
end of their cooking times.

KEEP WARM

In Keep Warm mode, the Even-Heat™
system distributes power to the top
and bottom elements to keep food
warm before serving.
Keep Warm tip
The preset temperature is 170°F (77°C),
but you may wish to adjust this depending
on the item being warmed.
IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving
temperature before it is placed in the
oven to keep warm.
REHEAT
The Even-Heat™ system distributes power
to the top and bottom elements to bring
food to serving temperature. (The top
center element is off.)
Reheat mode tips
• The preset suggested temperature is
300°F (149°C), but you may need to
adjust this depending on the item
being reheated.
• Reheating too long may overcook or
dry out food.
• Pull oven rack out before turning
or removing food. Use tongs to turn
food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry, or meat may
not need to be turned.
• After broiling, remove the pan and food
from the oven. Drippings will bake on
the pan if left in the heated oven, making
cleaning more difficult.
