Cooking Modes - GE JK1000 Owner's Manual

Cooking Modes
Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below.
Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform
differently than the oven it is replacing.
Bake
The bake mode is for baking and roasting. This mode
uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from
the upper element to cook food. When preparing baked
goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always
preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for
food placement. If no guidelines are provided center food
in the oven. To use this mode press the Bake pad, enter a
temperature, and then press Start.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door closed. The broil element in
this oven is very powerful. Monitor food closely while
broiling. Use caution when broiling on upper rack
positions as placing food closer to the broil element
increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility
of fats igniting. Broiling on rack position 6 is not
recommended.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust
rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the
food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a
seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods
and foods that need to be cooked through should be
broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by
using Broil Lo. For best performance center food below
the broil heating element.
Broil Hi
The Broil Hi mode uses intense heat from the upper
element to sear foods. Use Broil Hi for thinner cuts of
meat andlor foods you prefer less done on the interior.
To use this mode press the Broil pad once and then
press Start, It is not necessary to preheat when using
this mode,
Broil Lo
The Broil Lo mode uses less intense heat from the upper
element to cook food thoroughly while also producing
surface browning. Use Broil Lo for thicker cuts of meat
and/or foods that you would like cooked all the way
through. To use this mode press the Broil pad twice
and then press Start. It is not necessary to preheat when
using this mode.
