Cooking by Temperature

Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.
Use TEMP COOK/HOLD to
cook a variety of foods to the
desired finished food temperature.
The TIME COOK I & II setting
is preferred for batters, doughs,
frozen foods and foods which are
difficult to cook precisely with
the probe.
"TEMP COOK/HOLD" takes the
guesswork out of cooking because
the oven automatically signals with
four beeps when the food reaches
the preset temperature. The Hold
feature will maintain this temperature
for up to twelve hours or until you
touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.
Note: Oven automatically switches
to "Hold" when preset food
temperature is reached.
