GENERAL GUIDELINES
Toast/Bagel: Always have the rack in Upper rack position, as indicated in
the diagram at left, for even toasting. Always center your item/items in
the middle of the rack.

All of our recipes give you
step-by-step directions
Bake: Baking function can be used as you would normally use your
large kitchen oven for roasting meats including chicken, or baking cakes,
cookies and more.
and will tell you where
Broil: Broiling function can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish and more.
It also can be used to brown the tops of casseroles and gratins.
Caution:
Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the drip pan. Foil is
extremely dangerous when broiling fatty foods. Grease will accumulate
and may catch fire. If foil is used to cover drip pan, be sure foil is tucked
neatly around the pan and does not touch the walls or heating rods.
Never cover the crumb tray.

BAGEL
For best bagel results, place your bagels on the oven rack with the cut side
facing up. Make sure the oven rack is in the Upper rack position, as indicated
in the diagram on page 5. If toasting two bagel halves, center them in the
middle of the rack. Four bagel halves should be evenly spaced with two in
front, two in back. To begin toasting your bagel, close the door and turn
Selector dial to Bagel. The Shade and Start/Stop buttons will begin to flash.
Dormant Mode: The oven will go dormant when cooking cycle is
completed. When dormant, the oven has power but is not lit up. Opening
the door, pushing any button or turning the Selector dial will activate the
dormant oven.

Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking the bread. Therefore,
differences in denseness and moisture level from one bread to another can
result in varying toasting times.
Stop Toasting
When the toasting cycle is finished, the oven will beep and turn off.
If you wish to stop the toasting cycle before it is finished, simply press the
Start/Stop button, as that will cancel the Toast cycle.
For slightly dry bread or thinly sliced bread, use a lighter setting than you
normally would, as it will toast more quickly.

setting than normal. Dense, moist bread may also require a darker setting.

stop baking and turn the heating elements off at any time by pushing the
Start/Stop button.
Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a

Thickly cut pieces of bread will take longer, since more moisture must be
evaporated from the bread before toasting occurs. Very thick pieces may
require two cycles.
BROIL
Turn Selector dial to Broil. The Timer button will begin flashing.
When toasting raisin or other fruit breads and muffins, remove any loose
fruit, etc. from the surface of the bread before placing into the oven. This will

Temperature
The preset broil temperature is fixed at 500°F, so the Temperature button

The Bagel feature adds the appropriate amount of extra time to the toasting
cycle to toast your bagels at the color level selected with the touchpad shade
control. The Bagel function is designed for the standard bagel size (3 ounces).
For deli-size bagels (3–6 ounces) you may need to increase the darkness
setting. The Bagel function can also be used to toast English muffins, thick-
sliced breads, and thick-sliced specialty Italian or Portuguese breads, which
require longer toasting times than an average slice of white bread.
Start Broiling
Put food on the broiling rack set in the drip pan. Place pan on the rack and

1. Put the butter, onion, garlic, thyme and ½ teaspoon of the salt into a medium
skillet set over low heat. Cook until the onions are deeply golden, stirring
occasionally – the onion must cook slowly, so if it seems as though it is
browning too quickly or getting too dark, lower the heat. This process will
take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
2. While the onion is caramelizing, toss the tomatoes in a small bowl with the
remaining salt; reserve.
3. Line the baking pan with parchment paper. Roll out the sheet of pastry on
a well-floured surface; cut to fit pan and place on the prepared pan, folding
over the edges to make a border. Using the tines of a fork, prick the surface
of the tart shell all over, in the center and on the border. Brush the egg wash
all over the tart shell.

Kitchen Sink Nachos
Broccoli Rabe and Sausage Bread
The great thing about this recipe is that you can make it
as extravagant or simple as you want –
here we go a little overboard and throw in just about everything.
Sweet ricotta complements the slight bitterness
and spice of the broccoli rabe and sausage.

1. Line the baking pan with aluminum foil. Evenly distribute the chips in the
prepared pan. Distribute the remaining ingredients over the chips, as evenly
as possible, in the order listed.
1. Put 1 teaspoon of oil in a medium to large sauté pan set over medium-high
heat. Once hot, add the sausage, breaking up with a heatproof spatula.

2. Add the remaining oil and reduce heat to medium. Add broccoli rabe — it
will look like a lot but will shrink as it cooks. Sauté for about 7 to 8 minutes,
or until just tender, stirring in the garlic, pinch of salt and red pepper flakes
halfway through cooking. Remove from the heat and set aside with the
sausage to cool slightly.
Baked Pasta with Veggies
If you can’t find gemelli, any short, shaped pasta
works well here for holding onto cheese and veggies in each bite.

6. Evenly spread the broccoli/sausage/cheese mixture all over the dough in a
single layer, leaving a 1-inch border around the outside.
7. Brush the border of the dough with the egg wash. Starting with the long
end farthest from you, roll the dough into a log (like a jelly-roll) to the center
of the rectangle. Take the long end closest to you and tightly pull it back
over the dough in the center to cover and complete the roll. Pinch to seal
all along the seam. Fold the ends of the dough in on each side and pinch to
seal. Roll the dough over so it is seam side down and place on the prepared
baking pan. Brush all over with egg wash and with a paring knife, cut 3
evenly spaced slits in the top.

2. Cook macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain pasta and rinse
under cold water. Toss with the olive oil to prevent sticking; reserve.
6. While the oven is preheating, transfer the pasta to the prepared baking pan.
Cover with foil and place the pan in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, remove
the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and
pasta is heated through.
3. Put the butter into a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Once melted,
stir in the flour until smooth. Continue to cook, constantly stirring, for about
2 minutes to cook the flour. While whisking, slowly add the milk to the butter/
flour mixture. Raise the heat slightly to bring the milk to a boil, while stirring.
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, stirring so a
film does not form on the bottom of the pot. Cook until the sauce becomes
very thick, about 30 to 45 minutes. Once thickened, stir in the shredded
cheeses until sauce is smooth. Add the salt, ground mustard, nutmeg, hot
sauce and then the macaroni, stirring to combine. Finally, stir in 1 cup of the
croutons, and remove from heat.
