Boil & Simmer
The Boil & Simmer menu has 4 main food categories, plus a
shortcut to Manual Simmer Cook (see “Time/Temp/Power
Cooking” section).
Boil & Simmer is a sensor function, and uses only microwaves to
simmer your food.
See “Cook Method Chart” for specific food items and amounts.
■
Follow recommended water and food amounts that appear
on the display.
■
Use the provided steamer vessel base and lid, or a
microwavable dish with a loose-fitting lid.
■
Do not use plastic wrap as a cover during the Boil & Simmer
cycle.
■
Do not remove the lid while the dish is still in the oven, as the
rush of steam will disrupt the sensor readings.
To Use: Touch “Cook Method” on Main Menu, then touch “More
Choices,” and then “Boil & Simmer.” Follow screen prompts to
make your selections, prepare your food for simmering, and start
the cycle.
Simmering Pasta
The water will need to boil before adding the pasta. Place the
dish of water, covered, in the oven and begin the cycle. When the
water boils, the oven will stop and prompt you to add the pasta. If
manually simmering, place the covered dish of water in the oven,
and set a simmer time of 1 second. The water will start to boil,
the 1-second simmer time will end, and the oven will stop.
Using oven mitts, gently remove the covered dish of boiling
water, add the pasta, recover, place the dish back in the oven and
continue the cycle.
Simmering Rice
Place food and water/liquid, covered, in the oven and begin the
cycle. The sensor determines when the water starts to boil, and
figures the simmer time, which will begin counting down in the
display.
Sizzle Pan
The Sizzle Pan menu has 8 main food categories, plus a shortcut
to Manual Sizzle Pan (see “Time/Temp/Power Cooking” section).
Sizzle Pan function uses microwaves, and sometimes the grill
element. Microwaves quickly heat the pan, while the grill element
browns (or crisps) the food from above.
Some Sizzle Pan cycles are programmed to preheat the empty
pan for 3 minutes before cooking begins. When the preheating
cycle is complete, the oven will stop and prompt you to add the
food to the Sizzle Pan. The oven may prompt you to turn over the
food during the cycle.
See “Cook Method Chart” for specific food items and amounts.
■
Oven cavity and door will become very hot during the Sizzle
Pan cycle. The use of oven mitts is recommended.
■
The Sizzle Pan will become very hot. Use oven mitts to grasp
and remove the pan from the oven. Do not place hot Sizzle
Pan directly on heat-sensitive surfaces. Damage may occur.
■
Use detachable handle when handling hot Sizzle Pan.
■
Do not use plastic utensils on the Sizzle Pan, as it becomes
very hot quickly and could melt the utensils.
■
Do not use metal utensils, as they can scratch the pan.
■
Do not use the Sizzle Pan in any other microwave oven or in a
standard thermal oven.
■
Do not place the Sizzle Pan on the grill rack or the convection
rack. Always use the turntable as a support for the pan.
■
For best results, coat the Sizzle Pan lightly with cooking oil to
make removing food and cleaning the pan easier.
■
When the grill element is in use, the cooling fan turns on and
stays on for up to 10 minutes after the cycle is over.
To Use: Touch “Cook Method” on Main Menu, then touch “More
Choices,” and then “Sizzle Pan.” Follow screen prompts to make
your selections, prepare the food and/or Sizzle Pan for cooking,
and start the cycle.
