Cooking by Temperature

Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.
Use Temp Cook/Hold to cook
a variety of foods to the desired
finished food temperature. The
Time Cook I &II setting is
recommended for batters,
doughs, frozen foods and foods
which are difficult to cook
precisely with the probe.
Temp Cook/Hold takes the
guesswork out of cooking, because
the oven automatically switches
to "Hold" setting after reaching
the preset food temperature, and
maintains that temperature for up
to one hour or until you touch
the CLEAR/OFF pad.
Note: Oven automatically switches
to "Hold" when preset food
temperature is reached.

Questions and Answers
Q. Are there any foods I can't
Temp Cook?
A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc. soften rapidly at warm
temperatures. Batters, doughs and
frozen foods are also difficult to
cook precisely with the probe. It's
best to Time Cook these foods.
Q. Why did "PRObE" flash on
the display after I touched the
START pad?
A. "PRObE" will flash if you
don't seat the cable end of the probe
securely into the receptacle in the
oven wall or if you touch the TEMP
COOK/HOLD pad and forget to
use the probe.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the
oven if it's not inserted in food?
A. No, if it touches the oven wall,
it may damage the oven.
Q. Can I Temp Cook different
portions of food at different
temperatures?
A. Yes. The temperature probe
gives you the freedom to cook
different portions of food at
different temperatures to suit
individual eating styles. Simply
place probe in food and change
temperature setting as needed.
