Browning Pan
The Browning Pan function uses the specially designed browning
pan (provided with oven) to brown, crisp, and pan-fry foods in the
microwave oven. While microwaves heat food from above, they
also heat the pan very quickly from below to brown and crisp the
food.
Some Browning Pan cycles are programmed to preheat the
empty pan for 3 minutes before cooking begins. When the
preheating cycle is complete, the oven will stop and prompt you
to add the food to the browning pan. The oven may prompt you
to turn over the food during the cycle.
See “Cook Method Chart” for specific food items and amounts.
Oven cavity and door will become very hot during the
Browning Pan cycle. The use of oven mitts is recommended.
The browning pan will become very hot. Use oven mitts to
grasp and remove the pan from the oven. Do not place hot
browning pan directly on heat-sensitive surfaces. Damage
may occur.
Use detachable handle when handling hot browning pan.
Do not use plastic utensils on the browning pan, as it
becomes very hot quickly and could melt the utensils.
Do not use metal utensils, as they can scratch the pan.
Do not use the browning pan in any other microwave oven or
in a standard thermal oven.
For best results, coat the browning pan lightly with cooking
oil to make removing food and cleaning the pan easier.
