ADAPTING RECIPES
Many of your favorite appetizer recipes can be
cooked easily in your Dimension 4 Oven.
Bake temperatures may need to be 25˚F (10˚C)
lower than conventional temperatures. Prepare
appetizer according to the recipe directions. Place
the Oven Rack on the Ceramic Tray. Place a dish on
the Oven Rack. Check doneness at the minimum
cooking time.
Combination 3 and 4 can both be used to cook
appetizers. Prepare appetizer according to the
recipe directions. Find a similar recipe in this
cookbook and use it as a guideline. Generally,
conventional recipes that require a temperature of
350˚F (180˚C) or 375˚F (190˚C) can be cooked on
Combination 3, and recipes which require a
temperature of 400˚F (200˚C) or 425˚F (220˚C) can
be cooked on Combination 4.
Use a microwaveable and heat-safe dish. Place the
dish in the oven. Appetizers that conventionally
cook in about 15 minutes should be checked for
doneness after cooking 10 - 12 minutes.
Microwave appetizers can be assembled and
refrigerated until needed. Arrange in a circular
pattern on a microwave-safe serving dish.
To keep breads and crackers crisp, line dish with a
paper towel.
