COOKING TIPS
TO USE YOUR AMERICAN HOME TO ITS FULLEST POTENTIAL,
HERE ARE A FEW COOKING TIPS TO REMEMBER...
* WHENEVER POSSIBLE PLACE FOOD DIRECTLY ON THE WIRE
RACK
Cooking on a wire rack allows the hot air to circulate freely around
the food, cooking it quickly and evenly without turning.
* COOKING A COMPLETE MEAL AT ONCE
By using two levels of racks, it is easy to cook an entire meal at
once. Keep in mind that different foods and different weights of
foods take different amounts of time to cook. Think ahead. Put the
food that takes the longest amount of time to cook on the bottom
rack. Later on during the cooking process, put the other food on
the top rack. Now your complete meal of meat, potatoes and
vegetables are all cooked together and will be ready at the same time.
* PLACING FOODS FOR OPTIMUM COOKING
When placing several pieces of food on the wire rack, be sure to
leave at least 1/2-inch between the food and the side of the glass
bowl. This space allows the air to flow freely through the oven.
Also avoid stacking food on food in order to cook more at one
time. The hot air must circulate freely in order to cook the food
properly.
* KEEPING FOOD CRISP
After the food is cooked, turn the thermostat down, keeping the
fan running. Your food will stay hot and crisp.
