Using Your Microwave Oven

Using CRISP OR SIZZLE

The PAN HEAT feature, combined with CRISP OR SIZZLE, uses a pan to brown, crisp and pan fry foods in the microwave oven. PAN HEAT preheats the pan to 410ºF in approximately 3 minutes. While microwaves heat the food from above, they also heat the pan very quickly from below to brown and crisp food.
