I. INTRODUCTION
THE EZ COOK STORY :
A NEW GENERATION IN COOKING™
With the EZ COOK Oven you can prepare delicious, healthful meals in
less than half the time of traditional methods. What makes these superior
results possible is our revolutionary approach to certain time-honored
cooking methods.
Professional cooks have long known that they could improve upon
traditional oven cooking by using a fan to accelerate the circulation of the
oven's hot air. This traditional convection oven consists of a fan mounted
on one side of a metal box.
The EZ COOK Oven improves upon traditional convection ovens in the
following ways:
‧ The EZ COOK Oven is made of glass, not metal, so that
you can clearly see what you are cooking from all sides.
‧ The EZ COOK Oven combines a circular bowl with a fan
mounted in the lid so that hot air currents move down over the food,
around the bowl's sides, and then back up to the fan. This creates a
tornado-like flow of constantly moving, super-heated air that cooks
and browns food quickly and thoroughly.
‧ The EZ COOK Oven uses cooking racks that allow you to
cook two levels of food at once. In addition, when meat, poultry, or
fish is cooked on the lower rack, fats and oils are blown away
through the grating. You will cook lighter, more nutritious meals.
Page 7
Consider these other benefits
‧ Meat and poultry turn out brown and crisp on all sides, moist and
juicy on the inside.
‧ Sliced potatoes can be "air-fried" with a small amount of oil and will
turn out crisp and golden brown.
‧ Breads and pastries rise higher and turn out fluffier and moister than
in a standard oven.
‧ You can save up to 60 percent of the energy consumed by a standard
oven.
‧ Multi-level cooking allows you to cook an entire meal at one time.
All this - and cook two to three times faster than a standard oven！ That
is why the EZ COOK Oven represents "A New Generation In Cooking™ ".

A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE
With the EZ COOK Oven, you are always cooking with hot air (dry
roasting) and with the food suspended on a wire rack. As a result,
retention of fat is minimized, leading to fewer calories, lower fat and
cholesterol consumption and a healthier lifestyle. You will find that, with
the EZ COOK Oven, it is not necessary to add fat, oil, butter or margarine
to most recipes. However, you can do so if you wish.
We recommend the following steps to further improve your health:
1. Eat a variety of foods including items from all food groups daily.
2. Eat less butter, fat an d sauces.
3. Eat less sugar and sweets.
4. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables (preferably steamed).
5. Drink only moderate amounts of alcohol.
6. Drink plenty of water every day.
7. Use less processed foods-eat more fresh food instead.
8. Eat less at a time, but eat regularly.
9. Use fat, oil, butter and margarine sparingly.
10. Use salt sparingly.
11. Dry roast your food as often as possible.

III. HELPFUL HINTS
COOKING TIPS
TO USE YOUR AMERICAN HOME TO ITS FULLEST POTENTIAL,
HERE ARE A FEW COOKING TIPS TO REMEMBER...
* WHENEVER POSSIBLE PLACE FOOD DIRECTLY ON THE WIRE
RACK
Cooking on a wire rack allows the hot air to circulate freely around
the food, cooking it quickly and evenly without turning.
* COOKING A COMPLETE MEAL AT ONCE
By using two levels of racks, it is easy to cook an entire meal at
once. Keep in mind that different foods and different weights of
foods take different amounts of time to cook. Think ahead. Put the
food that takes the longest amount of time to cook on the bottom
rack. Later on during the cooking process, put the other fo od on
the top rack. Now your complete meal of meat, potato es and
vegetables are all cooked together and will be ready at the same time.
* PLACING FOODS FOR OPTIMUM COOKING
When placing several pieces of food on the wire rack, be sure to
leave at least 1/2-inch between the food and the side of the glass
bowl. This space allows the air to flow freely through the oven.
Also avoid stacking food on food in order to cook more at one
time. The hot air must circulate freely in order to cook the fo od
properly.
* KEEPING FOOD CRISP
After the food is cooked, turn the thermostat down, keeping th e
fan running. Your food will stay hot and crisp.
Page 19
* TO MAKE YOUR CLEAN-UP EVEN EASIER
Before cooking, spray the oven, including the racks and pans, with
a non-stick product first. Wiping away the grease and residue after
cooking will be even easier.
* ADAPTING RECIPES
As a rule of thumb, when using recipes intended for conventional
ovens, temperatures will remain the same but cooking times will
be less.
The cooking times in the recipes in this book should be used as a
guide. You need to judge whether your piece of meat weighs less
or more than that which is used in the recipe and slightly adjust
your cooking time. When working with the AMERICAN HOME for
the first time, we suggest using a meat thermometer. Watch the
cooking progress through the glass bowl. After a short time you will
easily be able to adapt your favorite recipes for the AMERICAN
HOME.
* PREHEAT YOUR OVEN
For optimum cooking, preheat your oven at 482℉ for six
(6) minutes prior to cooking.
* COOKING TIME
COOKING TIMES SHOWN IN THIS COOKBOOK WILL VARY
DEPENDING ON THE VOLUME, WEIGHT AND MASS OF THE
FOOD OR THE DESIRED CRISPNESS YOU WANT.
Page 20
SELECTING YOUR FOOD
MEAT
Beef Select rich, red, fine-textured meat with a light covering of fat
(having a marbled appearance). Buy whole pieces and cut to
suit – you can really save a lot.
Lamb Select lean meat. Meat should be soft, pinkish-red and fine
textured.
Pork Select lean meat. Meat should be very light pink in color, fine
textured and fresh smelling.
FISH
Whole Select only fresh fish with full, clear eyes and b right gills - a
sure sign of freshness. Also, scales should be bright and clean –
not slimy. Fish should look and smell fresh from the sea. Flesh
should be firm and spring back when touched.
Fillets Select only firm fillets without discoloration that have a
pleasant sea smell. Fillets must not be dull, soft or ooze water
when touched.
POULTRY
Select only fresh meat or birds. Poultry should look and smell fresh.
VEGETABLES / FRUIT
Select firm, almost ripe fruit; check for bruises and blemishes – color
should be clear and bright. Vegetables should be crisp and of good color.
Try to avoid vegetables sold tightly packed in plastic wrap - they will
sweat and quickly spoil. Never use vegetables that are soft or limp.
Page 21
FOOD PREPARATION AND
PRESENTATION
PREPARATION
Careful preparation pays off in an appetizing, healthful and tasty meal.
Always remove excess fat and trim meats. Clean and trim vegetables and
garnishes, removing all bruises and blemishes. Use only the freshest meats
and vegetables.
Always ensure that all parts of a meal are cooked at the right time. This
usually requires different starting times that must be planned thoroughly.
PRESENTATION
Try a few of these interesting ways to perk up your table and make any
meal a festive occasion:
- Slice a freshly baked loaf of bread or dinner rolls into a basket lined
with colorful napkins. Serve with butter or margarine, softened and
mixed with grated cheese, garlic salt or your favorite seasoning.
- Main course meats are more attractive when displayed on a large platter
surrounded by fresh parsley sprig s, carrot curls (made with a potato
peeler) and radish roses.
- Serve sauces in a pretty piece of china or glassware. Drop in a ladle and
bring to the table on a plate for easier passing between guests.
- Flowers on the table are always effective, but in a pinch use a grouping
of your favorite figurines or houseplants.
- Candles make dinners cozy, so turn down the lights and turn up the
charm. Float small, flat candles in a large, clear bowl filled with water.
The effect is magical.
