COOKBOOK

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave or heat-resistant accessories available for purchase. Evaluate careful- ly before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures when using microwave-only cooking. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.

For automatic cooking, use the recommended container in each cooking guide and recipes of the cookbook sec- tion.

Steam Cooking Advice

There are certain techniques for cooking with steam. It is essential that these techniques are followed to ensure good results. Many of them are similar to those used in conventional cooking so you may be used to doing them already. Please follow the advise given below for all cooking options which use STEAM MENUS, STEAM HIGH and STEAM LOW.

NOTE:

•Always attend the oven when in use.

•Ensure that the utensils are suitable for STEAM cooking mode. (See About Utensils and Cov- erings page 26)

•Ventilate the room to allow the steam to dissipate.

•After cooking and the oven has cooled, remove and empty the water tank, wipe oven cav- ity with a soft cloth or sponge. Wait a few minutes, then empty the drip tray.

Cooking Techniques

Container	Ensure food is arranged evenly. Food which has little or no space between
	will take longer to cook, please ensure food is positioned with enough space
	between items to allow the steam to circulate around it. For the container, a
	shallow dish is suitable. It is not recommended to use dense dishes, because
	of the thickness of such dishes, recommended cooking times will have to be
	extended.
Covering	Covering is not necessary in most cases. If a cover is required, aluminium foil
	is recommended to keep food becoming wet from the condensed water in the
	oven cavity. Covered food will take longer to cook.
Door	For accurate cooking times, keep the door closed.
Stir	Sometimes soup or casserole reheated in a casserole without covering looks
	watery after cooking. Appearance will be better by stirring well.
Stand	Standing time is recommended after cooking so it enables the heat to disperse
	equally throughout the food. Do not allow to stand for a long time; food may
	be overcooked or wet by the residual steam.
