Crisp or Sizzle
The Pan Heat feature, combined with Crisp or Sizzle features,
uses the Crisper Pan to brown, crisp, and pan-fry foods in the
microwave oven. Pan Heat preheats the pan to 410°F in
approx imately 3 minutes.
While microwaves heat food from above, they also heat the pan
very quickly from below to brown and crisp the food. Microwaves
heat the pan through the active layer at the bottom of the pan.
The active layer is designed to stop absorbing microwaves at
410ºF (210ºC). The Crisper Pan reaches that temperature in
approx imately 3 minutes. Use the pan as quickly as possible after
it is heated for optimum temperature.
IMPORTANT: Pan Heat must be used before the other Crisp or
Sizzle features are used.
■ Use the handle to grasp and remove the Crisper Pan from the
oven.
■ Do not use plastic utensils on the 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 pan in any other microwave oven or in a
thermal oven.
■ Always use the turntable as a support for the pan. Do not
place the pan on the cooking rack.
■ For best results, coat Crisper Pan lightly with cooking oil to
make removing food and cleaning easier.
To Use Pan Heat:
1. Touch PAN HEAT once.
Pan will preheat for 3 minutes.
CRISP OR SIZZLE FEATURES

To Use Crisp or Sizzle:
