Browning Pan
The Browning Pan feature uses the crisper pan, the broil element
and microwaves to crisp and brown foods. While microwaves
heat food from above, they also heat the pan from below to
brown and crisp the food.
Browning Pan can be used to saute meats and vegetables, pan
fry bacon and eggs, and to crisp and brown pizza and french
fries.
Some Browning Pan cycles are programmed to preheat the
empty pan for 3 minutes before cooking begins. When the
preheating cycle is complete, the microwave oven will stop and
prompt you to add the food to the crisper pan. The microwave
oven may prompt you to turn over the food during the cycle.
■ Always use the crisper pan.
■ See the ”Coated Crisper Pan and Handle” section before
using.
■ Microwave oven cavity and door will become very hot during
broil element use. The use of oven mitts is recommended.
■ The crisper pan will become very hot. Use the handle to grasp
and remove the pan from the oven. Do not place hot crisper
pan directly on heat-sensitive surfaces. Damage may occur.
■ To avoid damage to plastic utensils, do not use them with
the crisper pan as it becomes very hot and could melt the
utensils.
■ Do not use metal utensils, as they can scratch the pan.
■ For best cooking results, do not use the pan in any other
microwave oven or in a thermal oven.
■ For best cooking results, do not place the crisper pan on the
grilling grid or convection grid. Always use the turntable as a
support for the pan.
■ For best results, coat pan lightly with cooking oil to make
removing food and cleaning easier.
Use the following chart as a guide when using the browning
function.
