Desserts
The Desserts setting gives best results for delicate desserts such as crème brulee and cheesecake that are typically baked in a water bath. This setting also works well for other custard based dishes, souffles, and pies.
■Preheating is not recommended.
■Lower standard baking temperature by 25°F (15°C).
■Allows the center of a dessert to bake without overcooking the outer edges.
■It is not necessary to cook with a water bath.
■No need to shield edges of pie crust with foil.
The convection fan is on only when steam is introduced into the cycle to distribute the moisture evenly. To minimize the creation of a skin on the surface of foods, convection is not used at any other time in this setting.

SelectSteam
Select Steam has 3 settings: High Steam, Low Steam and Keep Warm.
Select Steam Settings
High Steam
The High Steam setting gives best results to vegetables, shellfish and other foods that benefit from a very moist environment with minimal browning.
By setting the temperature at 250°F (120°C), the lowest setting allowed, you can achieve similar results to steaming on the cooktop.
■Use a broiler pan and grid or a low-sided baking dish for best results.
■Preheating is not recommended.
■Cooks cheese-topped casseroles such as lasagna without over-browning the cheese topping.
■For best results, do not use the Select Steam settings for green beans, artichokes and beets.
Low Steam
The Low Steam setting gives best results to casseroles, roasted vegetables or other foods that you want to cook with more browning, but keep moist.
■Use a low-sided baking dish for best results.
■Preheating is not recommended.
Keep Warm
The Keep Warm function allows hot cooked food to stay warm before serving without drying them out.
