How to Use Sim ‘N CookTMControl

Setting the oven to use the “Sire ‘N Cook” control is easy. You don’t enter time because it is a temper- ature function. You don’t enter temperature or power level because the oven does that automatically. There is no automatic shut-off.

The “Sire ‘N Cook” control lets you slow-cook foods which need long, gentle cooking to tenderize or de- velop flavor. Food is brought to a simmer rapidly, then the temperature probe maintains simmering at about 180° for as long as you want. Choose this set- ting for pot roasts, stews, or any favorite slow-cook recipe.

loosely around the probe, allowing some space for venting (see pictures in your cookbook). Do not use the lids to your casseroles.

Alternately, check department stores housewares sections for plastic or stoneware accessories de-

signed for automatic temperature cooking. These pots have lids designed with slots cut out so the tem- perature probe can be inserted from the outside of the casserole through the lid directly into the food.

If, after you press start, a 3-second signal sounds and the oven shuts off, it means you have forgotten the probe or have not attached it to the oven correctly.

Casserole Suggestions for

Automatic Simmering

Your Cook Book recipes specify size of casseroles needed for simmering certain foods. A summary of dish sizes for a variety of foods which automatically simmers with excellent results’is listed below.

Be sure to use the amount of water called for in the recipe, and to cover the food. Covering retains the steam which helps soften and tenderize the food dur- ing microwaving.

Covering the food tightly to retain steam is so impor- tant that we recommend that you use plastic wrap, stretching over the top of the casserole. Gather it
