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. Super-
market convenience savoury dishes in shal-
low 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 re-
moving dishes from the oven –
especially when turning or stirring foods as
the oven walls and roof will be very hot.
