Combination Cooking
Some foods should be cooked on
Combination without using the Grill
Rack i.e. roasts, gratins, pies and
puddings. The food should be placed in
a heatproof non-metallic dish and
placed 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.
