2. ROAST

Use the ROAST setting for poultry, meat, fish or other foods you would normally roast that are not included in Basic Cook on pages 16-18. ROAST is a prepro- grammed setting that roasts with high speed air circula- tion, 325°F. and a boost of microwave power. The cook- ing time is reduced 33% to 50% compared with typical ovens. No preheat is necessary. Use the low rack over the splash guard so all sides are cooked with a mini- mum of moisture loss. No pan put on low rack.

•Suppose you want to roast a 3 pound beef rib roast for 20 minutes.

P R O C E D U R E

Touch ROAST.

2 Enter cooking time.

3 Touch START.

NOTE:

1.The temperature can be changed, however the mi- crowave power cannot.

To change the temperature, touch ROAST twice at step 1. When the display shows SELECT COOK- ING TEMP, touch desired temperature pad.

2.When you roast a food for the first time, enter 1/2 the usual roasting time and check doneness care- fully during the cooking. If extra time is needed, add and continue to check often until the desired doneness has been achieved.

3.When using ROAST, some metal baking utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact with the turntable, oven walls or accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal.

If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish, such as a Pyrex pie plate or oven-glass plate, between the pan and the turntable or rack. If arcing continues to occur, discontinue use for roast cooking.

3. BAKE

Use the BAKE setting for cakes, breads and many other foods you would normally bake that take longer than 20 minutes in a conventional oven and are not included in Basic Cook on pages 16-18. BAKE is a prepro- grammed setting that makes it easy to bake with high speed air circulation at 325°F.

The baking time is 25% to 33% less than in a conven- tional oven. No preheat is necessary. Use the low rack.

•Suppose you want to bake a cake for 25 minutes.

P R O C E D U R E

Touch BAKE.

2 Enter cooking time.

3 Touch START.

NOTE:

1.The temperature can be changed. To change the temperature, touch BAKE twice at step 1. When the display shows SELECT COOKING TEMP, touch desired temperature pad. When adapting recipes or package directions, reduce the suggested baking temperature by 25 F.

2.When you bake for the first time, enter 2/3s of the usual baking time and check carefully throughout the baking. If extra time is needed, add and continue to check often until the desired doneness has been achieved.
