PRESET TIPS
Because pre-set cooks foods faster and is hotter, you can reduce the cooking
temperature by 25°, and check for doneness three quarters of the way through the
cook time.
Foods that are covered benefit from the pre-set even heat and will cook faster without
any moisture loss.
The high temperature air circulation produces roasted foods that are golden brown on
the outside and juicy and tender on the inside.
Even cooking means that you can use more than one rack and you do not have to turn
foods or rotate baking trays.
Below are foods that benefit from the pre-set setting and when to use it:
Roast:
Meat, vegetables, whole fish
Bake:
Pies, pastries, cookies, biscuits
Broil:
Meat, fish, for melting cheese, for browning the top of casseroles
Pizza:
• Use the lower rack position and check often so the cheese does not burn.
• Start with no pre-set and then turn on pre-set for the last few minutes to brown
cheese.
Not recommended for:
Custards and flans, souffles, cakes, quick-breads, breads
Additional tips:
• Make sure air can circulate around food and pans.
• Use trays, roasting pans, and baking pans with lower sides.
• Do not cover the oven shelves with foil.
