Crisp Cooking Guide
Crisp mode is a special cooking mode that is designed
to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional
oven cooking. Select
Crisp , then input the desired set
temperature and press Start . The temperature can be
set between 300°F and 500°F.
Crisp Cookware Guidelines
• Only use broil safe cookware when using Crisp mode.
• A dark sheet pan is recommended. A dark pan
promotes better browning and crisping.
• Oven baking baskets and baking grids can also be
used. A sheet pan should be placed on the rack below
the foods to catch any drippings when using a baking
basket.
General Tips for Crisp Mode
• The Crisp mode is designed for cooking on a single
rack.
• The Crisp mode has a 2 minute preheat

rack position 3 for thicker foods.
• For frozen packaged foods, use traditional oven
cooking instructions for set temperature and expected
cook time. Adjust the cook time to achieve your desired
crispness.
• Foods may cook faster than expected if the oven is
already hot when food is placed in the oven.
• When crisping foods with sauce, it is recommended to
apply the sauce at the end of cooking.
• If foods are browning too quickly, try a lower rack
position or lower oven set temperature.
• It is not necessary to flip or stir food during cooking
• Arrange food in a single layer on the pan, do not
overload the pan.
• Always check internal food temperature to confirm
minimum safe temperatures have been reached.
Minimum safe food temperatures can be found on
packages and at
foodsafety.gov.
