Helpful hints for combination cooking

•Meats may be roasted directly on the Convection Rack.

•Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tender- ized using oven cooking bags.

•Check for doneness after cooking time is up. If not completely done, let stand in oven for a few minutes to complete cooking.

NOTE: During combination cooking, some cooking utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact with the oven walls or metal Convection Rack. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal. If arcing occurs, place a heatproof dish between the pan and the Convection Rack. If arcing occurs with other cook- ing utensils, stop using them for combination cooking.
