Helpful Hints for Convection and Automatic Mix Cooking

Your Dacor Convection Microwave Oven can cook any food perfectly because of the number of ways it can cook: microwave only, automatic mix, convection only or broil. The cookbook that comes with your oven has excellent instructions, guidelines, hints, charts and recipes to help you get the best use of your oven. Consult it often until you are familiar with it. This Use & Care Manual tells you how to program the oven.

The oven cannot be used without the turntable in place. Never restrict the movement of the turntable.

Convection Cooking:

1.When preheating, the turntable can be left in or removed. When using the high rack for 2 shelf baking in a preheated oven, it is easier to remove the turntable for preheat.

Place high rack on turntable along with foods. When preheat is over, open oven door and quickly place turntable, high rack and foods to be baked inside.

2.Do not cover turntable, low rack or high rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow that cooks food.

3.Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not have extended handles.

4.Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled appearance to steaks, hot dogs etc.

Automatic Mix Cooking:

1.Meats are best when roasted directly on the low rack. A dish can be placed below the meat if gravy is to be made from the drippings.

2.Less tender cuts of meat can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.

3.When baking, check for doneness after time has elapsed. If not completely done, let stand in oven a few minutes to complete cooking.

NOTE:

During mix baking 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 (Pyrex® pie plate, glass pizza dish or dinner plate) between the pan and the turntable or rack. If arcing occurs with other metal baking utensils, discontinue their use for mix cooking.
