To Cook on Combination: Convection & Microwave
Combination cooking is ideal for roasting meats, poultry and cooking cakes, pastries and slices. Combination cooking automatically alternates between Convection and Microwave heating.
The advantage of Combination cooking is that it gives you the browning of Convection and often shortens the conventional cooking time. Time is also reduced as preheating is not required.
To calculate cooking time start by cooking for approximately 2/3 of the conventional cooking time and add additional time If required. For examples of recipes and cooking times, consult recipes in the recipe section.
Ovenproof cookware, including ceramic is suitable for use on Combination cooking. Cakes, slices, desserts etc. may be cooking in metal cookware providing there is suitable quantity of food to be absorbed by the microwave heat. For example, do not place a small amount of food in a large metallic dish as arcing may occur.
When cooking by Combination, place dishes to be cooked on the Ceramic Tray. When roasting meat, the roasts may be placed directly on Low Rack.
Sausages and rissoles may also be cooked in this way.
Place a heatproof glass or ceramic dish under the rack to catch any drips from the roast. Alternately, elevate the roast on a roasting rack in a baking dish and place directly on Ceramic Tray.
