CONVECTION BROILING 1
Your Microwave-Convection Oven will broil meats, fresh or frozen to perfection! As in
conventional cooking, broiling time will vary with thickness as well as weight. For best
results use the directions that follow:
Basic Convection Broiling Procedure:
1. Preheat oven 15 minutes at 450°F.
2. Prepare and season meat on both sides, as desired.
3. Place meat on broiling trivet or turntable.
4. Consult broiling chart in your Cookbook; set time for correct cooking time.
5. Turning meat over is not necessary.
6. Test for doneness; slit center of meat, check for desired color; red - rare, pink -
medium, gray - well done.
Helpful Hints:
1. Do not cover broiling trivet with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that
cooks food.
2. For faster clean-up spray trivet and turntable with non-stick vegetable spray.
3. To eliminate excess fat in broiling, use broiling trivet.
4. Broiling may be done ahead of time, then individual portions sliced and reheated with
microwave power (MEDIUM setting) as needed.
5. Hot dogs cooked on the broiling trivet may be turned over to give an even, grilled
appearance,
Recommended Broiling Utensils:
Use only the metal turntable and the broiling trivet that are included with the oven.
ICOMBINATION COOKING
With the exception of those foods that cook best by convection heating alone, most foods
are well suited to combination cooking; that is convection heating combined with micro-
wave cooking.
The marriage of these two cooking methods produces juicy roasts, moist and tender cakes
and fine textured breads, all with just the right amount of browning and crispness.
ATiON-ROASTiNG
Combination roasting in your oven isa simple task when you follow the instructions
given below. The results are juicy, crisp browned meats done to your liking.
Basic Roasting Procedure:
1. Place meat directly on turntable or on the metal broiling trivet, or in a shallow roasting
pan on the turntable, as you prefer.
2. Season, as desired.
3. Consult chart in your Cookbook for roasting temperature and timing.
4. Program oven for appropriate cooking time and mix setting. Change temperature if
recipe requires.
5. Check for desired doneness using a meat thermometer. If desired, a dual safe microwave/
conventional thermometer may be inserted in the meat at the beginning of cooktime.*
6. Let meat stand tented with aluminum foil 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
* A dual safe thermometer is specially designed to withstand high temperature and can
safely be used with heat or microwaves. Do not use conventional meat thermometers for
combination cooking and do not use microwave only thermometers for combination
cooking.
