You can use your favorite recipes in the
Trivection oven.
When speedcooking, enter the traditional
cooking temperature and the maximum
recipe/package cook time. When speedcooking,
the Auto Recipe'" conversion feature
automatically
converts
traditional cool< time
into the appropriate speedcooking time. The
converted time will display arm you start the
oven. This time will be up to 5 times fhsmr than
tmdifionN baldng based on food type.
Coohware for
@eedcooking. .
You can use cool<ware that is oven-safe. Heat-
resistant paper and plastic containers and
bakeware that are recommended for use in
traditional baldng can also be used for speed
baking. Howeven they should not be used at
temperatures higher than the temperature
recommended by the bakeware manufhcturer
If you are cooking with several pans, leave space
beta,veen them. Arcing is the microwave term
for sparks in the oven. To avoid arcing, be sure
there is at least 1 inch of space beta,veen metal
smfaces--pans, wall of cavity, aluminmn foil.
Do not completely surround food with metal
and/or foil while speedcooking--you will not
have a time savings (for example, wrapping
potato with foil, using metal roasting pan
with lid).
When using a metal pan, do not cover it with
a metal lid or foil (a glass lid or parchment
paper may be used). However, foil may be used
to shiekt food to prevent overbrowning or
overcooking (i.e., placing small strips of foil
on tips of wings and legs of poultry). Also, foil
covers may be tented over food (i.e., large
flozen casseroles) toward the end of their cook
time to prevent overbrowning or overcooldng.
DO NOT USE FOOD WRAPPERS MADE
FROM A COMBINATION OF METAL FOIL
AND PAPER IN THE OVEN in speedcook
modes. For example, some flozen or deli
breads are baked and sokt in these wrappers.
Remove the food flom the wrapper and
speedbake on a fiat metal pan.
When speedcooking with metal pans, heavy
a/uminmn pans are recommended for best results.
When speed baldng with stoneware or cooldng
stones, IefeI to the Illantlf_tct/uer's owner's
manual for proper use and maintenance. For
best results, preheat your fiat cooking stones.
If the manufacturer does not recommend
preheating the cooking stones, do not use them
in Speedcooking modes. Do not use hearth
inserts while speedcooldng.
Use pans with low sides whenever possible. A
shallow pan allows air to circulate around the
f_)od more efticient/y.
Dark or matte finish bakeware will produce
darker browning on food. When you are speed
broiling, it is important that you use the broiler
pan with grid for best results. The pan is used
to catch grease spills and the grid is used to
prevent grease spatters.
