Slow Cook
Slow Cook is best for food items such as beef, poultry and pork.
This cycle is available to cook food at low temperatures for long
periods of time. Food can be cooked up to 12 hours depending on
the temperature chosen.
Recommended Temperature Range:
4 hour cook time = 250°F to 300°F (120°C to 150°C)
8 hour cook time = 200°F to 250°F (93°C to 120°C)
12 hour cook time = 170°F to 226°F (77°C to 108°C)
■
Food should be completely thawed.
■
Cover food to keep food moist.
■
Prior to Slow Roasting, meat can be pan seared or broiled on
sides to enhance browning, flavor and tenderness.
■
Use a flat rack in position 3 for best results.
To Use Slow Cook:
Before using Slow Cook, see the “Positioning Racks and
Bakeware” section. It is not necessary to preheat the oven.
1. Place food in oven.
2. Press SLOW COOK for the desired oven.
3. Press the number keypads to set the desired temperature. If
the temperature entered is not in the range of the temperatures
allowed, the minimum or maximum allowed temperature will be
displayed. Enter a temperature in the allowable range.
4. Press START.
“Preheating” will show in the display until the set temperature is
reached.
“Lo” will also appear in the display until the oven reached a
temperature of at least 170°F (77°C).
When an oven temperature of at least 170°F (77°C) is reached,
the oven display will show the temperature increasing. A single
tone will sound when the set temperature is reached.
5. Press OFF for the selected oven when finished.
Proofing Bread
Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the
yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Standard Proof
should be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first
and second rise. Rapid Proof (on some models) operates at a
slightly higher temperature than Standard Proof, and it can be used
for the second rise of formed dough.
To Proof:
Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and
cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place in
position 2, and then close the oven door.
1. Press BREAD PROOF until the desired proof is displayed
(“Standrd” or “Rapid”).
2. Press START.
Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size. Proofing time
may vary depending on dough type and quantity.
3. Press OFF when finished proofing.
Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking pan(s)
and then cover loosely. Follow the same placement and control
steps above. Before baking, remove the cover.
NOTE: If the oven temperature is greater than 120°F (49°C), the
display will indicate “oven cooling” until the temperature is below
120°F (49°C).
