•
If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for
a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer
crust.
•
Preheat baking stones following manufacturer’s
recommendations while the oven is preheating.
•
Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the
center of the rack.
•
Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.
•
The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza
mode.
Roast
Roast is best suited for meat and poultry and less tender
cuts of meat.
Tips:
•
Preheating the oven is not necessary.
•
Use a high-sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover dish
with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.
•
For less tender cuts of meat, add liquids such as water,
juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and moisture.
•
Roasting bags and using a lid are suitable for use in
this mode.
•
When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings
behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.
Convection Roast
The Convection Roast mode is well suited for preparing
tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for
roasting vegetables.
The benefits of Convection Roast include:
•
As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection
modes.
•
Rich, golden browning.
Tips:
•
Preheating the oven is not necessary.
•
Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
•
Check doneness early, since roasting time may
decrease. Refer to the Meat/Poultry cooking chart for
examples.
•
Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
•
Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow,
uncovered pan with a rack for roasting.
•
Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal
termperature of the meat.
•
If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet
done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat
to prevent overbrowning.
•
Let meat stand covered with foil for 10 to 15 minutes
after removing it from the oven.
•
Refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart for
recommended rack positions.
Broil
The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts
of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to
brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door
closed. The benefits of broiling include:
•
Fast and efficient cooking.
•
Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.
Tips:
•
Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more
than 5 minutes.
•
Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick.
•
Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent
sticking.
•
Use a broil pan and grid, or a deep pan with a metal
rack, for broiling.
•
Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to
prevent smoking and spattering.
•
Turn meats (other than fish) once during the
recommended cook time. Fish does not need to be
turned.
•
When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass
ceramic dishes such as CorningWare ®.
•
Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex ®); it cannot tolerate
the high temperature.
•
For broil times, refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking
Chart.
%
Roast
uses both the upper and lower
elements to maintain the oven
temperature. Roasting uses more
intense heat from the upper element
than the lower element. This results in
more browning of the exterior while
the inside remains especially moist.
2
Convection Roast
uses heat from
the top and bottom elements as well
as heat circulated by the convection
fan.
(
Broil
uses intense heat radiated from
the upper element.
