Sizzle Pan function uses microwaves, and sometimes the grill element. Microwaves quickly heat the pan, while the grill element browns (or crisps) the food from above.
Some Sizzle Pan cycles are programmed to preheat the empty pan for 3 minutes before cooking begins. When the preheating cycle is complete, the oven will stop and prompt you to add the food to the Sizzle Pan. The oven may prompt you to turn over the food during the cycle.
See “Cook Method Chart” for specific food items and amounts.
