Viking RDMOR206SS Convection Cookbook - Page 8

Convection Microwave Utensils A wide variety of utensils may be used in convection and combination cooking. Many of them are also suitable for microwaving alone. Microwave-only paper and plastic products should not be used for combination cooking or placed in the oven while it is still hot from convection cooking. Be sure to use hot pads when handling utensils. They become hot from convection and combination cooking. The turntable is an utensil itself: a drip pan under the low rack during roasting and broiling or a baking sheet for breads and cookies. A meat/poultry thermometer may help you to determine doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to a safe temperature. A conventional thermometer cannot be used with combination cooking, so it would be necessary to check doneness after food has been removed from the oven. Low rack holds meat and poultry above the turntable so that heated air cooks all sides of the food and the fat drains onto the turntable for healthy cooking. Use the low rack for roasting, broiling, Convec Bake, Convec Broil and Convec Roast. High rack serves as a shelf for two-level cooking, such as layer cakes or cookies. Use it for convection and combination cooking. 6
