COOKING TIPS
• Times given in cooking charts are suggestions. Experimentation will
be necessary to find the combination of cooking features that best
suits your personal taste. For frozen convenience foods begin by
starting with TURBO for approximately one half of package cooking
time. Then add time for crisp and/or brown. If necessary, cook for
additional time.
• Always watch foods closely when experimenting to prevent over
cooking. If food is not done when you take it out of the oven you can
always return it to the oven for additional time.
• Arrange all food in a single layer in basket.
• Remove crumbs and/or ice crystals from food before placing in basket.
• To toast two slices of bread, PREHEAT the oven. Center bread in the
basket. Select BROWN for 30 seconds for light color toast, one
minute for medium and two minutes for dark. At the end of the cycle,
flip toast over and reprogram for the same time again.
• Leave air space between foods to allow proper air circulation.
• Avoid cooking foods small enough to fall through basket.
• Do not cover food while it is cooking.
• Do not cover the sides of the basket.
• When grilling more than one piece of meat, try to select even thick-
nesses. This will promote consistent doneness and appearance.
• For grilling small portions, make sure meat is centered in the basket.
When cooking large portions, distribute evenly to promote uniform
cooking.
• Trim all excess fat off meat and poultry to reduce smoking and splat-
tering.
