Recipe Guide
Automatic cooking control is a
fully automatic electronic control
system that
lets
your microwave
oven do the cooking for you. The
guides and recipes in this section
are designed to
help you make
the most of this truly new
feature.
Standard cooking techniques
require setting the oven for a
specified cooking time or a selected
finished temperature. And that
means looking up recipes in a
cookbook . .
trying to convert old
recipes for microwave cooking. .
or just resorting to guesswork.
This control method works on
an entirely different basis—with
a special electronic sensor that
detects steam from cooking food.
The oven “knows”
how
the food
is cooking; so it can automatically
set the correct cooking time and
maintain the proper power level for
different types and amounts of food.
N~E:

not accept

Foods Recommended
A wide variety of foods including meats, fish, casseroles,
vegetables, leftovers, and convenience foods can be Auto
cooked. Match container size with the food, cover
securely, and do not open door during Auto cycle. When
oven signals, turn, rotate or stir as recommended in
recipe or guide on pages 17 and 18.
then signals, and displays time
counting down. During Auto, oven
should not be opened, but when
oven signals, most foods should be
turned, stirred, or rotated. Check
the Automatic Cooking Guide on
pages 17 and 18 for suggestions.
Appropriate containers and
coverings help assure good cooking
results. Containers should match in
size to the size of the food being
cooked. Coverings such as plastic
wrap secured on all sides, the lid
that came with the container, or
microwave-safe plastic domes are
ideal. For examples of containers
and coverings, see page 8 and the
following recipe section on pages
10-16 of this book.
Foods Not Recommended
Reci~es and foods which must be cooked uncovered, or
-,
which require constant attention, or adding ingredients
during cooking should be microwaved by microwave time
cooking (see page 22). For foods that microwave best
using temperature probe, use
Temp
Cook, or Auto Roast.
Foods requiring a dry or crisp surface after cooking cook
best with microwave temperature cooking (see page 23),
convection (pages 24, 25 and 31) or combination (pages
26-28) cooking. Note the cooking reference guide on
page 29.
