Cooking Methods

Microwave Cooking

Microwave cooking uses high frequency energy waves to heat the food. When cooking, microwave energy causes food molecules to move rapidly. This rapid movement between the food molecules creates heat, which cooks the food. Microwaves cook moist food and foods of varying fat content more quickly.

Convection Cooking

Convection cooking utilizes both a convection element and fan to evenly distribute heated air throughout the oven cav- ity. By circulating air, no hot or cold spots occur, creating a consistent temperature envelope around the food. These con- sistent temperatures cook food evenly and reduces cooking time.

Combination Cooking

The combination mode uses both the speed of
