tips...
You must preheat your oven.
Put the food in the oven afier tile preheat beep
when the oven control displays "Put Food In
Oven" and then press START. You must press
the START key after placing the food in the
oven to start the speedcook mode.
When choosing a speedcook ff_od category,
refer to the chart on page 16.
All frozen foods should be speedcooked using
the FROZENFOODS category.
When baking potatoes, tile recommended
cooking temperature is 350°F and cooking time
is 90 minutes for medium sized potatoes. Add
an additional 15-30 minutes for large potatoes
or when baking more than four potatoes.
In general, when cooking meats wrapped in
dough or refrigerated dough product, use the
Biscuit/Roll or BakedGoods catego W.
For recipes using a large quantity of cheese,
mill< and/or eggs, use the gakedGoods catego_ T.
Larger amounts of food or multiple racks of
food may require additional time. Check food
doneness as prompted and continue cooldng
as needed.
Items such as appetizers, cookies, biscuits
and rolls can be speed baked on multiple racks.
Cooking time may increase slightly for some
foods, but since two or three racks of food are
being cooked at the same time, the overall
result is substantial time saved.
When cooking multiple items or pans, leave
space between them f_)r maximum air circulation.
Cakes and quick breads (banana, zucchini or
pumpldn bread) are not recommended for
multiple tack speed baking. Place cakes side-by-
side on one rack if speed baldng. When using
more than one rack to cook these foods, rise
CONV MULTI mode. See Usir_g"the convection
modes section.
Meats/Poultry
Cooking times will vary depending on the cut
of meat. Check for doneness at minimum filile.
Note: Meats will continue to cool< and internal
temperauues will rise af*er they are removed
flom the oven (standing time).
Use the broiler pan and grid provided with
your oven for best results.
As in a conventional oven, almninum ff)il
may be used to shield fbod--to prevent
overbrowning or overcooldng (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 overcooMng. Make sure that the foil is
securely attached to the fbod. Howevm; large
alnounts
of foil or flflly enclosing food in foil
blocks the microwave energy, which eliminams
time savings.
Do not use oven thermometers, meat
thermometers or wire twist-ties in the oven
while speedcooking.
Pop-up thermometers in your meat may be
inaccurate. Check the temperature of the meat
with a thermometer after removing the meat
from the oven.
For best results, speed bake turkeys unstuffed.
