COOKING HINTS
Experiment. Try various combinations of time and power levels until each of your recipes results in a
perfectly cooked product. Some rules of thumb:
• Generally, try to cook as quickly as possible. Cooking for longer periods of time at lower intensities
may reduce the quality of the food.
• Consistent preparation and storage of foods to be cooked in the oven will result in consistent
cooking results. If oven settings are developed for a pizza using refrigerated and portioned
ingredients, then this is how the pizza should be prepared every time or the results will vary.
• Cooking times should
more dry and porous, foods are flat or thin, uniform size pieces are cooked, or black cooking pans
are used.
• Cooking times should
of food items in a portion is increased, and foods have high moisture content.
• Keep the lamp shields and interior cavity clean. Baked-on grease and food particles will reduce
the efficiency of the oven and affect the cooking process. See the CLEANING section of this
manual.
