Combination cooking
Some foods should be cooked on Combination
without using the Grill Rack or Panacrunch Pan
i.e. roasts, gratins, crumbles and puddings.
The food should be placed in a heatproof
non-metallic dish and place directly onto the
turntable.
Do not preheat the grill on
combination.
COVERING
NEVER cover food when cooking on a
Combination
program.
CAUTION:
The covering will melt or crack and
could ignite.
Containers to use
DO NOT use plastic MICROWAVE
containers on Combination Programs (unless
suitable for combination cooking). Dishes must
be able to withstand the heat of the top grill –
heatproof glass e.g. Pyrex
®
or ceramic are
ideal. But do not put dishes on Grill Rack
directly under the grill.
DO NOT use your own metal dishes or tins, as
the microwaves will not penetrate the food
evenly.
For home-made savoury recipes e.g. Cottage
Pie, Lasagne, place in heatproof dish and place
dish directly on the turntable.
Supermarket convenience savoury dishes in
shallow foil dishes may be used with care on
Combination
(not suitable to be used on Auto
Program). Take care that they do not touch the
oven walls or door. DO NOT use if they are
crushed or damaged in any way, as arcing may
occur and NEVER place on the Grill Rack.
Foods not suitable for
combination cooking
Batter mixtures, e.g.Yorkshires, Choux
pastry, Toad in the Hole, Egg White
mixtures e.g. souffles, meringues, Frozen
pastry items, e.g. sausage rolls, Raw
double layer pastry pies.
The foods above should be cooked in a
conventional oven.
CAUTION:
Take care to use oven gloves when
removing dishes from the oven –
especially when turning or stirring foods as
the oven walls and roof will be very hot.
