Crisp Cooking Guide

Crisp mode is a special cooking mode that is designed
to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional
oven cooking. Select Crisp, then input the desired set
temperature and press Start. The temperature can be
set between 300°F and 500°F.
Crisp Cookware Guidelines
• Only use broil safe cookware when using Crisp mode.
• A dark sheet pan is recommended. A dark pan
promotes better browning and crisping.
• Oven baking baskets and baking grids can also be
used. A sheet pan should be placed on the rack below
the foods to catch any drippings when using a baking
basket.
