Combination cooking is ideal for roasting meats,
poultry and cooking cakes, pastries and slices.
Combination cooking automatically alternates
between Convection and Microwave heating.
The advantage of Combination cooking is that it
gives you the browning of Convection and often
shortens the conventional cooking time. Time is also
reduced as preheating is not required.
To calculate cooking time start by cooking for
approximately
2 /
3
of the conventional cooking time
and add additional time If required. For examples of
recipes and cooking times, consult recipes in the
recipe section.
Ovenproof cookware, including ceramic is suitable
for use on Combination cooking. Cakes, slices,
desserts etc. may be cooking in metal cookware
providing there is suitable quantity of food to be
absorbed by the microwave heat. For example, do
not place a small amount of food in a large metallic
dish as arcing may occur.
When cooking by Combination, place dishes to be
cooked on the Ceramic Tray. When roasting meat,
the roasts may be placed directly on Low Rack.
Sausages and rissoles may also be cooked in this
way.
Place a heatproof glass or ceramic dish under the
rack to catch any drips from the roast. Alternately,
elevate the roast on a roasting rack in a baking dish
and place directly on Ceramic Tray.
