COOKING BY TEMPERATURE

Internal temperature is the best test of doneness for many foods.

Use Temp Cook/Hold to cook a variety of foods to the desired finished food temperature. The Micro Cook setting is recommended for batters, doughs, frozen foods and foods which are difficult to cook precisely with the probe.

Temp Cook/Hold takes the guesswork out of cooking because the oven automatically switches to ‘‘Hold’’ setting after reaching the preset food temperature and maintains that temperature until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

NOTE: Oven automatically switches to ‘‘Hold’’ when preset food temperature is reached.

The Temperature Probe

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food. Use the probe when you want to Convection Cook or Combination Cook to a preferred internal temperature. (Its appearance may vary from picture shown.) The probe must be used when using Temp Cook/Hold or Combination Roast. To use the probe properly, follow directions in the Combination Roasting section.

•Be sure frozen food has been completely defrosted before inserting probe. Probe may break off if used in frozen foods.

•Cover foods loosely for moisture control and quick, even heating.

•Insert the probe horizontally into the center meaty area not touching bone or fat. Make sure the handle does not touch the food or top or sides of the oven.
