Slow Roast Slow Roast uses the upper and lower elements at low temperatures to gently cook meat. Meat will be evenly cooked throughout. This mode is best suited for large boneless cuts of meat. Place cookware in the oven and allow the oven to heat up for about 10 minutes. Sear meat on the cooktop on all sides, then place into the preheated cookware. Dehydrate Dehydrate dries heat with a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Dehydrate Chart Use Dehydrate to dry and/or preserve foods such as fruits, vegetables and herbs. The oven stays on 24 hours before shutting off automatically. Tips: ▯ Dry most fruits and vegetables at 150°F (65°C). Dry herbs at 100°F (40°C). Refer to the Dehydrate chart for examples. ▯ Drying times vary depending on the moisture and sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the amount being dried and the humidity in the air. Check food at minimum drying time. ▯ Multiple drying racks (not included) can be used simultaneously. ▯ Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration. Food Item Preparation Approx.
