Solving Baking Problems

Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the chart below for the causes and remedies for the most common problems. It is important to remember that the temperature setting and cooking times you are accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary slightly from those required with this oven. If you find this to be true, it is necessary for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times accordingly.

Broiling

BROIL (Infrared Broil)

The broil burner at the top of

the oven heats the metal screen

until it glows. Heat radiates from

the GourmetGlo™ infrared

broiler located at the top of the

oven cavity. The distance

between the foods and the broil

elements determines broiling

speed. For “fast” broiling, food may be as close as 2 inches

(5 cm) to the broil element or on the top rack. “Fast” broiling is best for meats where rare to medium doneness is desired. Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts of meat.

infrared convection broil

CONVECTION BROIL (Infrared Convection Broil)

The top burner operates at full power. This function is exactly the same as regular broiling with the additional benefit of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Smoke is reduced since the airflow also reduces peak temperatures on the food. Use this setting for broiling thick cuts of meats.
