The Speedcook Oven
Toast

Toasting browns and crisps foods. Using high
heat and high-speed air, the Toast mode can
enhance fl avor and melt cheese.
Use Toast mode for foods like bread, bagels,
tortillas, and pastries. For best results, place
food directly on the oven rack. For products
like fi lled pastries that may run over, use a
metal sheet pan.
Bake

Traditionally, to bake is to cook with dry heat.
Hot air from the top and bottom of the oven
envelops the food in a radiant dry heat, which
combines with a little moisture from the food
to become a circulating vapor in the oven.
The Speedcook Oven uses the traditional
baking process. However, the hot air is moved
through the cook cavity at higher speeds than
in a traditional oven. This rapid movement of
air decreases cook times while ensuring foods
bake evenly and retain more moisture.
Baking is the usual mode for cooking breads,
cakes, cookies and other pastries, and most
casseroles.
In Bake mode, metal cookware will provide
more bottom browning while items in glass
cookware will tend to cook a little faster.
Pizzas can be baked on a pizza pan or placed
directly on the oven rack. Some casseroles
may need to be covered with parchment
paper to prevent over-browning.
