When using the Poultry setting:

Use a broiler pan, grid and roasting rack for best results.

Preheating is not recommended.

Roasting time may need to be reduced up to 20 percent compared to convection and traditional roasting times.

Use a meat thermometer to gauge doneness of food.

Seafood

The Seafood setting bakes at a lower temperature than traditional baking. This gives you moist, tender, evenly-cooked fish with results similar to those achieved when steaming fish in parchment paper. You can cook shellfish, fillets, steaks or whole fish with this setting.

Use a broiler pan, grid and roasting rack or a low-sided baking pan for best results.

Preheating is not recommended.

The convection fan will turn on mid-cycle and remain on for the rest of the cycle.

Very little to no browning will occur throughout the cycle. If browning is desired, use a higher browning level. The fish will be moister than when conventional baking.

Breads

The Breads setting gives best results when baking yeast breads. With the addition of steam to the cycle, you no longer need to spritz with water or add moisture into the oven to achieve a crispy crust and moist interior.

Preheating is required.

Lower standard baking temperature by 25°F (15°C).

Baking times may be slightly less than with standard baking.

If you are using a baking stone, place it in the oven on rack position 1 before beginning the cycle. For other bread baking, use rack position 1 or 2.

The oven will preheat to a temperature higher than the set temperature. It will then begin adding steam so the bread dough will go into a moist, hot environment, which is best for rising and crust development.

After preheat, place the bread dough in the oven as quickly as possible and close the door. The oven temperature will reduce to the set temperature, and a small amount of moisture will be added. The remainder of the cycle is dry heat for optimal browning.

Vegetables

The Vegetables setting gives results similar to steaming on a cooktop or in a microwave. This setting also allows you to steam a larger quantity of vegetables than a cooktop or microwave.

Preheating is not recommended.

When steaming vegetables use the default setting of 250°F and arrange the vegetables in a single layer on a low-sided baking pan.

Check vegetables for doneness early. Freshness of the vegetable affects the required cooking time.

Steaming artichokes, beets, green beans and broccoli is not recommended.

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, and souffles.

Preheating is not recommended.

The convection fan will turn on mid-cycle and turn off before the end of the cycle.

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.

Casseroles

The Casseroles setting allows you to bake an uncovered casserole without over browning the edges or drying it out.

Preheating is not recommended.

Covering the food is not recommended.

Cooking time may need to be reduced up to 20 percent compared to traditional cooking times.

Lower standard baking temperature by 25°F to 50°F (15°C to 30°C).

Allows the center of the casserole to bake without overcooking the outer edges.

Amount of browning can be controlled by adjusting the browning level.
