How to Use Sim 'N CookTM Control
Setting the oven to use the "Sire 'N Cook"
control
is
easy. You don't
enter
time because
it is a temper-
ature function.
You don't enter temperature
or power
level
because
the
oven
does
that
automatically.
There is no automatic
shut-off.
The "Sire 'N Cook"
control
lets you slow-cook
foods
which
need long, gentle
cooking
to tenderize
or de-
velop
flavor.
Food
is brought
to a simmer
rapidly,
then the temperature
probe
maintains
simmering
at
about 180° for as long as you want. Choose this set-
ting for pot roasts,
stews, or any favorite
slow-cook
recipe.
If, after you press
start,
a 3-second
signal
sounds
and the oven shuts off, it means you have forgotten
the
probe
or
have
not
attached
it to the
oven
correctly.
Casserole Suggestions for
Automatic Simmering
Your Cook Book
recipes
specify
size of casseroles
needed
for simmering
certain
foods.
A summary
of
dish sizes for a variety
of foods which
automatically
simmers with excellent
results'is
listed below.
Be sure to use the amount
of water called for in the
recipe,
and to cover
the food.
Covering
retains
the
steam which helps soften and tenderize
the food dur-
ing microwaving.
Covering
the food tightly to retain steam is so impor-
tant that we recommend
that you use plastic
wrap,
stretching
over the top of the casserole.
Gather
it
loosely
around
the probe,
allowing
some space
for
venting
(see pictures
in your cookbook).
Do not use
the lids to your casseroles.
Alternately,
check
department
stores
housewares
sections
for plastic
or stoneware
accessories
de-
signed
for automatic
temperature
cooking.
These
pots have lids designed
with slots cut out so the tem-
perature
probe
can be inserted
from the outside
of
the casserole
through
the lid directly
into the food.
