Proofing time may be faster and will vary depend-
ing upon the type and quantity of dough. Check
dough after 20 to 25 minutes.
5. When proofing is done, remove bowl
containing bread dough from the oven.
Empty water from container.
Second proofing:
Shape the dough and place in baking pan(s). Cover

ing is done, remove from the oven the bread dough

Helpful hints for
combination cooking
•
Meats may be roasted directly on the Convection
Rack.
•
Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tender-
ized using oven cooking bags.
•
Check for doneness after cooking time is up. If not
completely done, let stand in oven for a few minutes
to complete cooking.
NOTE: During combination cooking, some cooking
utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact
with the oven walls or metal Convection Rack. Arcing
is a discharge of electricity that occurs when
microwaves come in contact with metal. If arcing
occurs, place a heatproof dish between the pan and
the Convection Rack. If arcing occurs with other cook-
ing utensils, stop using them for combination cooking.
