MIX COOKING
With the exception of those foods that cook best by convection heating alone, most foods are well
suited to mix cooking using either the LOW MIX or HIGH MIX setting.
The marriage of convection and microwave cooking produces juicy roasts, moist and tender cakes
and fine textured breads, all with just the right amount of browning and crispness.
MIX ROASTING

tions given below. The results are juicy, crisp browned meats done to your liking.

the turntable, as you prefer.

and timing.

tional thermometer may be inserted in the meat at the beginning of cooktime."

use microwave only thermometers for mix cooking.
1. If roasting frozen meat, insert dual safe meat thermometer halfway through cooking time.

small pieces of aluminum foil.
3. Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.
4. For true roasting, and fewer calories, use metal broiling trivet to hold meat out of its juices.
5. If gravy is desired, roast in glass utility dish, remove meat to carving board, then microwave gravy.
