Sizzle Pan

The Sizzle Pan menu has a selection of main food categories,
plus a shortcut to Manual Sizzle Pan (see “Time/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 microwave oven will stop and prompt you
to add the food to the Sizzle Pan. The microwave oven may
prompt you to turn over the food during the cycle.

See “Cook Method Chart” for specific food items and amounts.

Microwave 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 microwave oven. Do not place

Do not use plastic utensils on the Sizzle Pan, as it becomes

stays on for up to 10 minutes after the cycle is over.
