Using the Trivection ™ Oven

You can use your favorite recipes in the
Trivection oven.
When speedcooking, enter the traditional
cooking temperature and the maximum
recipe/package cook time.
When speedcooking,
the Auto Recipe ™ conversion feature
automatically converts traditional cook time
into the appropriate speedcooking time. The
converted time will display after you start the
oven. This time will be up to 5 times faster than
traditional baking based on food type.
Cookware for
speedcooking. . .
You can use cookware that is oven-safe. Heat-
resistant paper and plastic containers and
bakeware that are recommended for use in
traditional baking can also be used for speed
baking. However, they should not be used at
temperatures higher than the temperature
recommended by the bakeware manufacturer.
If you are cooking with several pans, leave space
between them. Arcing is the microwave term
for sparks in the oven. To avoid arcing, be sure
there is at least 1 inch of space between metal
surfaces—pans, wall of cavity, aluminum foil.
Do not completely surround food with metal
and/or foil while speedcooking—you will not
have a time savings (for example, wrapping
potato with foil, using metal roasting pan
with lid).
When using a metal pan, do not cover it with
a metal lid or foil (a glass lid or parchment
paper may be used). However, foil may be used
to shield food to prevent overbrowning or
overcooking (i.e., placing small strips of foil
on tips of wings and legs of poultry). Also, foil
covers may be tented over food (i.e., large
frozen casseroles) toward the end of their cook
time to prevent overbrowning or overcooking.
DO NOT USE FOOD WRAPPERS MADE
FROM A COMBINATION OF METAL FOIL
AND PAPER IN THE OVEN
in speedcook
modes. For example, some frozen or deli
breads are baked and sold in these wrappers.
Remove the food from the wrapper and
speedbake on a flat metal pan.
When speedcooking with metal pans, heavy
aluminum pans are recommended for best results.
When speed baking with stoneware or cooking
stones, refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s
manual for proper use and maintenance. For
best results, preheat your flat cooking stones.
If the manufacturer does not recommend
preheating the cooking stones, do not use them
in Speedcooking modes. Do not use hearth
inserts while speedcooking.
Use pans with low sides whenever possible. A
shallow pan allows air to circulate around the
food more efficiently.
Dark or matte finish bakeware will produce
darker browning on food. When you are speed
broiling, it is important that you use the broiler
pan with grid for best results. The pan is used
to catch grease spills and the grid is used to
prevent grease spatters.
Microwave
assisted
In the Trivection oven, a microwave is used to
assist cooking.
The combination of microwave, convection fan
and heating elements is unique for each food
category.
NOTE: The microwave will cycle on and off while
cooking to best distribute energy to the food.
The microwave turns off and the cook time stops
counting down when the oven door is opened.
NOTE: The convection fan may cycle on and off and
change direction while cooking to best distribute hot
air in the oven. The convection fan shuts off when
the oven door is opened.
