SLOW COOKING AND LOW TEMPERATURE USES OF THE OVEN:
In addition to providing perfect temperatures for baking and roasting, the oven can be used at low temperatures to keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperatures, to cook food long and slow (as if using a crock pot), to dehydrate food, to warm plates, and to defrost foods.
warming feature:
Hot Cooked Foods can be kept at serving temperatures. Set the oven to bake and use the temperature suggested on the chart.
Foods needing to be kept moist must be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
slow cooking:
Slow Cooking of one food or an oven meal is possible by setting the oven to bake and the thermostat to 225 degrees F.
normal thawing:
Uncooked Frozen Foods can be thawed with the oven selector set to bake and the thermostat to 150 degrees F. Keep food tightly wrapped in foil and thaw just enough to handle. Cook immediately. DO NOT refreeze.
advanced thawing:
Frozen Cooked Foods can be thawed with the
oven selector set to bake and the Thermometer set to 170 degrees F. Loosen the freezer paper wrapping. DO NOT use plastic.
CAUTION!
WHEN USING THE OVEN IN ANY MODE, NEVER USE ALUMINUM FOIL TO COVER THE OVEN RACKS OR TO LINE THE OVEN. IT CAN DAMAGE THE OVEN LINER IF HEAT IS TRAPPED UNDER IT.
