COOKING COMPARISON GUIDE

Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of

food preparation options: microwave cooking,
convection cooking, and combination cooking.

Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency
radio waves. The movement of the microwaves

through the food generates heat and cooks most
foods faster than regular methods, while retaining their

natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking
heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior of

the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is

particularly convenient because less time is spent in

food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air
around the food, creafing even browning and sealed-

in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food

surfaces.

Combination cooking combines microwave energy
with convection to cook with speed and accuracy,
while browning and crisping to perfection.

You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking,
or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset
the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns
off automatically.

The following guide shows at a glance the difference

between microwave, convection, and combination

cooking.
