Introduction To Charts The experts in Viking's Test Kitchens carefully compiled the charts on the following pages to give you a quick reference for amounts, oven settings and cooking times for most popular foods. Use the information in the charts to help adapt your own favorite recipes or convenience foods for preparation in the Combi Steam/Convect™ Oven. With the exception of those items indicated as frozen, all the times and settings are for fresh or defrosted foods. We encourage you to experiment with these multiple cooking options. For example, give baked custards a try at the Steam setting. You'll be amazed at their delicate texture. Prepare to be astounded at the excellent results you'll get by cooking your favorite convenience foods-chicken nuggets, battered and breaded fish fillets or frozen French fries-in Viking's Combi Steam/Convect™ Oven. Steam Chart Use baking tray, high rack and steam basket. Steam on upper level, if possible.
