Introduction

Q&A – Commonly Asked Questions

As you familiarize yourself with this new technology and its advantages, you are sure to have questions. Many of your initial questions will be answered in your first cooking experience. However, since certain questions may arise before and during your first cook, we have taken the opportunity to answer some of the most commonly asked questions.

Additional Q&A can be found on pages 34-37. If you need additional assistance, please call Customer Service at 866.44serve.

Can I cook my own recipes? What if I can’t find my specific recipe?

Yes. Anything that can be cooked in a conventional oven can be cooked in the TurboChef 30˝ Double Wall Speedcook Oven. If you cannot find an exact setting for your item, use a similar one.

How do I turn the oven on?

If you cannot find an exact setting for your item, use a similar one. At the 80% and 100% check points (pages 11-12) you will have the ability to make adjustments and alter the programmed settings for your specific item.

For the top oven, turn the outer CookWheel knob to one of the seven Speedcook modes – Air-Crisp, Bake, Broil, Roast, Toast, Dehydrate, or Favorites. This will start the oven’s initial warming process and cause the Cook Navigator screen to illuminate.

For the bottom oven, set the Oven Mode Dial to one of the five modes – Convection Bake, Convection Broil, Broil, Bake, or Roast

– and then set the desired temperature.

Can I use my standard pots and pans with the oven?

Yes. In either oven, you can use any cooking materials that you would in a traditional oven.

Can I use foil in the oven?

For the bottom oven, foil is fine. However, it is not recommended for use in the top Speedcook oven due to the fact that foil can slow down the overall cook time and affect product quality. Try parch- ment paper if you need to wrap a product for cooking.

How do I know which Speedcook Mode to choose?

The modes have been established to describe how you would normally cook a product – i.e. BAKE a cake or ROAST a turkey. So in most cases, common cooking sense should help you decide which mode to choose. However, since we don’t all think the same way, an alphabetical list of all Preprogrammed Recipes can be found on pages 30-33.

Once you have developed the settings for your specific item, don’t forget to “Save to Favorites” (page 17). Doing this will allow you to easily recall the settings for your specific item.

Can I set the oven’s time and temperature?

In the bottom oven, yes. You select time and temperature just as you would with any traditional oven.

In the top oven, not initially. You must select a Speedcook mode, followed by an item and the item’s specifications in order to initiate a cook cycle. However, once you have selected your item, there is an option to “Adjust Settings” (pages 13-14). By selecting “Adjust Settings” you will have the ability to alter the preprogrammed time and temperature of the selected item.

It is recommended that you start with the preprogrammed settings developed through testing by our staff of professional chefs. Once you have a feel for the outcome using the preprogrammed settings, then you might want to customize by either adjusting at the 80% and/or 100% check points (pages 11-12) or by altering the time and/or temperature.

Do I have to preheat the oven? How long does it take?

The top Speedcook oven needs to preheat before you place your food item in to cook. This will take 9 to 14 minutes depending on the cook temperature the oven must reach.

With the bottom oven, it is recommended that the oven preheat to its cooking temperature, but not required.
