COOKING MODES

What is Even-Heat™ technology?

KitchenAid’s Even-Heat™ system helps provide consistent cooking results, without cold spots or overcooking. By cycling different heating elements on and off, and using certain elements for only part of the cooking cycle, Even-Heat™ allows tender, juicy roasts or pizzas with deliciously browned cheese—automatically.

Bottom elements

Bake

In Bake mode, the Even-Heat™ system distributes power to the top and bottom heating elements to maintain the desired oven temperature. The top center element will be off.

Bake mode tip

•Food may finish cooking up to 30% faster when using Convection mode. Check baked goods such as cakes, muffins, and pastries before the expected finish time to avoid over-cooking.

NOTE: For temperature and time settings and options in Bake mode, see the “Cooking modes” chart.

Asado Roast

The Asado Roast mode uses staged cooking to allow larger items like whole chickens or pork roasts to develop a crispy crust while slowly cooking the interior. The Even-Heat™ system distributes power to the top and bottom heating elements to maintain the desired oven temperature. The convection fan will operate in the first stage to assist with crisping the roast exterior, and will then turn off to prevent over-drying.

Temper_atur_e & time infor_mation

In Asado Roast mode, the time and temperature is set in 2 stages.

Stage 1 (Crisping) During Stage 1, the outer layer of your roast will crisp as the interior begins to warm. The convection fan will default to ON to assist with crisping the roast exterior, but may be turned off, if desired. Smaller cuts of meat may require less crisping than larger roasts; please consult your recipe.

Stage 2 (Roasting) Temperature is reduced in Stage 2 to allow heat to slowly and evenly reach the center of your food until it arrives at the desired finish temperature. The convection fan will turn OFF to prevent overdrying the outside.

NOTE: For temperature and time settings and options in Asado Roast mode, see the “Cooking modes” chart.
