Automatic Microwave CooKng Recipe Guide

Automatic cooking control is a fully automatic electronic control system that lets your microwave oven do the cooking for you. The guides and recipes in this section are designed to help you make the most of this truly new feature.

Standard cooking techniques require setting the oven for a specified cooking time or a selected finished temperature. And that means looking up recipes in a cookbook . . trying to convert old recipes for microwave cooking. . or just resorting to guesswork. This control method works on

an entirely different basis—with a special electronic sensor that detects steam from cooking food. The oven “knows” how the food

is cooking; so it can automatically set the correct cooking time and maintain the proper power level for different types and amounts of food.

N~E: Oven will not accept “Auto Cook code” if the oven is hot. If the word “Hot” appears, you must cool the oven before using Auto Cook or you may choose

to use time or temperature microwave cooking.

Wsy to Use

Simply touch two control pads— AU~ COOK and the desired code number—and then START. Refer to cooking guide for a complete list of codes for frequently prepared foods. The display shows Auto until steam is sensed and

then signals, and displays time counting down. During Auto, oven should not be opened, but when oven signals, most foods should be turned, stirred, or rotated. Check the Automatic Cooking Guide on pages 17 and 18 for suggestions.

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good cooking results. Containers should match in size to the size of the food being cooked. Coverings such as plastic wrap secured on all sides, the lid that came with the container, or microwave-safe plastic domes are ideal. For examples of containers and coverings, see page 8 and the following recipe section on pages 10-16 of this book.

Foods Recommended Foods Not Recommended

A wide variety of foods including meats, fish, casseroles, vegetables, leftovers, and convenience foods can be Auto cooked. Match container size with the food, cover securely, and do not open door during Auto cycle. When oven signals, turn, rotate or stir as recommended in recipe or guide on pages 17 and 18.

Reci~es and foods which must be cooked uncovered, or -,

which require constant attention, or adding ingredients during cooking should be microwaved by microwave time cooking (see page 22). For foods that microwave best using temperature probe, use Temp Cook, or Auto Roast. Foods requiring a dry or crisp surface after cooking cook best with microwave temperature cooking (see page 23), convection (pages 24, 25 and 31) or combination (pages 26-28) cooking. Note the cooking reference guide on page 29.
