ELPFUL HINTS FOR COMBINATION
COOKING
• Meats may be roasted directly on the Convection
Rack. Use Drip Pan to catch grease.
• Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and
tenderized using oven cooking bags.
• Check for doneness after cooking time is up. If not
completely done, let stand in oven for a few minutes
to complete cooking.
NOTE: During combination cooking, some cooking
utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact
with the oven walls or metal Convection Rack. Arcing
is a discharge of electricity that occurs when
microwaves come in contact with metal. If arcing
occurs, place a heatproof dish between the pan and
the Convection Rack. If arcing occurs with other
cooking utensils, stop using them for combination
cooking.
