Cooking Recommendations Bakeware The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food. Material Attributes Recommendation Shiny metal bakeware Shiny, aluminum, and non-coated bakeware is the best for even heating. It is suitable for all baked goods. Recommended cooking temperatures and times are based on shiny metal bakeware. Dark metal bakeware Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware.
PAGE 10
Cooking Recommendations Cooking Conditions Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food. Condition Aging cookware Attributes Recommendation As pans age and become discolored, cooking times may need to be reduced slightly. If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook time in the recipe or packaging. If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.
PAGE 11
Cooking Recommendations Cooking Tips Broiling / Roasting Broiling pan For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. Note: If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance, they may be purchased from Sears. Call 1-844-553-6667 and order broiler pan kit 5304442087.

PAGE 28
Oven Controls (Air) Sous Vide Food Safety How Sous Vide Works Sous vide is a French phrase meaning “under vacuum”. In sous vide cooking, food is vacuum-sealed in plastic pouches, which are then placed in a cooking medium of hot water or air. Your appliance uses hot air circulating around sealed pouches to cook food slowly at relatively low temperatures: 100°F to 205°F (38°C to 94°C). Sous vide cooking is not fast, but with a little planning, it can be very easy.
PAGE 29
Oven Controls Vacuum Sealing 3. Cook Sous vide cooking in your oven requires a vacuum sealer and vacuum pouches. The pouch needs to be sealed so no air or liquid can leak out. A pouch that leaks will produce poor cooking results and may produce smoke and residue that can burn during future cooking or when using self-clean. Follow the instructions that come with your sealer and pouches. 1. • Use pouches that are specified for your sealer and for sous vide cooking. • Do not reuse vacuum pouches.
