Surface Cooking 17 Surface cooking utensils *GOOD POOR • Curved and warped pan bottoms. • Flat bottom and straight sides. • Pan overhangs unit by more than 2.5 cm (1”). • Tight fitting lids. • Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced. • Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of burner. • Made of material that conducts heat well. • Heavy handle tilts pan. • Flame extends beyond unit. • Easy to clean. Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose.
Setting Surface Controls setting surface controls Your cooktop may be equipped with any combination of the following burners: Simmer Burner: best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. Standard Burner: used for most all surface cooking needs. Large Burner: best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food. Regardless of size, always select a utensil that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared.
Surface Cooking using the griddle The griddle is intended for direct food cooking and can be used on both sides. Do not use pans or other cookware on the griddle. Doing so could damage the finish.

Multiple rack baking may slightly increase cook time for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Most foods cooked in a standard oven will cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Convection baking uses the hidden bake element, the hidden convection element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven.

The Slow Cook feature is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow Cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal. The Slow Cook mode uses the hidden bake element to maintain a low temperature in the oven. The temperature probe cannot be used in this cooking mode.
Cooking Modes Dehydrating This mode dries foods with heat from the convection element. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Dehydrating is used to dry and/or preserve foods such as fruits, meats, vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an optimum low temperature while circulating the heated air to slowly remove moisture. The oven can be programmed for Dehydrating at any temperature between 100°F to 225°F with a default temperature of 120°F.

The Temperature Probe gets the exact temperature you desire without having to guess. This feature can be used with Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Roast and Perfect Turkey cooking modes. The oven can be programmed for Probe at any temperature between 130°F to 210°F with a default temperature of 170°F.
