Due to the automatic steam adjustment, the
door can be opened at any time during a
cooking operation. Be certain to observe the
safety war ning when opening the oven door.
The Combination mode is particularly efficient
when used for baking, broiling, grilling, stewing,
braising, and roasting.`
When using the Combination mode, cooking
temperatures can be reduced 10- to 20-percent
below the temperatures used for conventional
cooking methods.
Cooking time will be reduced approximately 40-
percent when cooking at the same temperature
used for convection oven cooking and up to 50- to
60-percent less time when cooking at the same
temperature used for a conventional oven.
Food browning in the Combither m begins
at a cooking temperature of approximately
248°F (120°C).
A higher cooking temperature results in heavier
browning but also results in greater product
weight loss. To achieve additional browning use
the Moisture Vent Key or set Gold-n-Brown into
the product procedure. Gold-n-Brown is
particularly useful for adding color to high moisture
products such as chicken and other poultry items
or for additional browning of full loads and other
moist products.
The Combination mode provides even browning
without the necessity to tur n the pans.
For more even cooking, do not cook in pans
deeper than 4-inches (100mm).
