The following methods have been
performance tested in our Catering Advisory
Service kitchen to achieve correct serving
temperatures and to produce the best
results in eating quality.
Adjust the settings for timings, temperature
and microwave power level to suit your
particular food products. Make the usual
allowances for different start temperatures,
portion sizes, seasonal variations and
personal tastes, etc. Use only as a guide for
establishing your own settings.
Standard settings may be programmed into
the oven’s memory (Series 5 versions) and a
record kept on the programme selection
chart.
Products
Virtually all foods traditionally cooked in an
oven can be successfully produced in a
microwave combination oven – it is simply
about 5 times quicker
NB: All temperatures given are for a
preheated oven. The timings on the
combination cooking pages are for the total
time on convection and microwave together,
i.e. combination cooking.
Always ensure correct kitchen standards are
maintained and that staff are fully trained
before using the oven.
If you should need further guidance, please
contact the Catering Advisory Service at
Merrychef Limited, who will be pleased to
offer assistance.
