Cooking by Temperature
Internal temperature is the best test of doneness for many foods.
Temp Cook/Hold takes the guesswork out of cooking because the oven automatically switches to Hold setting after reaching
the preset food temperature and maintains that temperature for up to one hour or until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.
