Operating the Oven
Dehydrating Tips (continued)
Solving Discoloration Problems
To prevent darkening during dehydration and storage, you should
steam blanch apples, apricots, peaches, nectarines, pears or foods
that will oxidize.
To steam blanch:
1. Add 1 inch of water to a 4 quart sauce pot. Insert the steam
basket and place the fruit in it.
2. Cover the pot and steam for 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Remove with a slotted spoon and dab with a paper towel to
3. Remove with a slotted spoon and dab with a paper towel to
remove excess moisture before dehydrating.
Apples, pears, pineapples and some other fruits will brown or
darken during dehydration. To prevent discoloration, dip fruits in
pineapple juice or lemon juice after steam blanching.
Creating a Candied Effect
To give fruit a candied effect and to help retain color, blanch them
in a simple syrup. You can candy the fruits mentioned above as
well as figs and plums. The basic ratio for a simple syrup is 1 cup
of sugar to 1 cup of water. Add these ingredients to a 4 quart
stock pot and bring to a boil. Stir until all the sugar dissolves.
Remove the saucepan from the cooktop and allow it to cool. Dip
fruit into the simple syrup after it has cooled.
Preventing Tough Skins
You should water blanch items with tough skins such as grapes,
prunes, dark plums, cherries, figs, and some types of berries.
Water blanching these types of fruit will crack the skins so that
moisture can escape and dehydration can be done more effec-
tively.
To water blanch:
1. Bring 2 quarts of water to boil in a 4 quart sauce pot.
2. Drop the fruit in the water for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the skin
2. Drop the fruit in the water for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the skin
begins to crack.
3. Remove the fruit with a slotted spoon and dab dry with a
paper towel before dehydrating. The pit can be left inside or
removed half way through the dehydrating process.
Defrosting Tips
•
Food that takes an exceptional amount of time to defrost will
not defrost well in a convection oven.
•
You should not defrost anything that would normally take
over 2 hours to thaw. The food will begin to spoil because the
defrost temperature is not high enough to cook the food.
•
If you have a partially defrosted turkey, rib roast or other
large cut of meat, you may continue to defrost it in your con-
vection oven. If wing tips and legs begin to dry out when you
defrost poultry, you may wrap the tips with aluminum foil.
•
If you are defrosting a small cut of meat, lay it on a flat
cookie sheet with a 1 inch rim to catch juices as the meat
thaws.
•
Thick, frozen casseroles such as lasagna will not defrost well
in your oven. Instead, defrost according to the food manu-
facturer’s suggestions. You may also defrost casseroles in the
refrigerator overnight. You should leave the food in its original
container and keep it covered.
•
You can bake some foods from frozen. Some examples are:
pizza, frozen pastries, croissants, cookies, etc. Before baking
frozen food, allow the oven to preheat.
Proofing
You can use your range to proof yeasted doughs at a low and
draft-free temperature using the bake mode.
1. Press the BAKE key.
2. Enter the temperature of 100°F on the keypad.
3. Press
1. Press the BAKE key.
2. Enter the temperature of 100°F on the keypad.
3. Press

4. Place the dough in a greased bowl inside of the oven. Cover
it with either a damp cloth or plastic wrap coated with a non-
stick spray.
5. Turn on the oven lights.
6. Set the timer for the amount of rise time in the recipe.

Information About Operation on
Sabbath and Jewish Holidays
For Sabbath and other Jewish holidays, use the delay start
(START TIME) feature with the 12 hour shut-off feature disabled
and the control panel beep turned off.

Turning off the 12 hour shut-off feature allows the oven to be
used continuously without it shutting off automatically. See
page 15.
•
Turning off the control panel “beep” prevents the control
panel from emitting a beep when you press the control panel
buttons. See page 15.
•
Place the food in the oven in advance and use only the
START TIME feature (See Delay Timed Cooking on page
19) to start the oven. Other oven modes (including the
meat probe and the timers) are not considered Sabbath
compliant.
