What Your Oven Can Do
Cooking with your new oven
offers a wide variety of food
preparation options. Microwave
cooking uses very short, high
frequency radio waves. The
movement of the microwaves
through the food generates heat
and cooks most foods faster than
conventional methods, while
retaining their natural texture
and moisture. Microwave
cooking heats food directly, not
the cooking utensil or the interior
of the oven. Reheating is easy
and defrosting is particularly
convenient because less time is
spent in food preparation.
Convection cooking constantly
circulates heated air around the food,
creating even browning and sealed-
in flavor by the constant motion of
hot air over the food surfaces,
Your new oven also offers the
option of combination cooking,
using microwave energy along with
