COOKING COMPARISON GUIDE

Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options: microwave cooking, convection cooking, and combination cooking.

Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster than regular methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food directly_ not the cookware or the interior of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly convenient because less time is spent in food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air around the food, creating even browning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.

Combination cooking combines microwave energy with convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.

You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking, or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns off automatically.

The following guide shows at a glance the difference between microwave, convection, and combination cooking.
