Question Hi i have a IFB microwave i'm very curious to learn microwave cooking n i have many recipes but unable to cook them the reason is that i don know to preheat . pls tell me how
Answer Dear Indhubala, thanks for your question. You only preheat the oven when cooking by convection or combination convection /microwave. Your oven should have a convection mode touch pad and temperature setting. Press the convection button and then the temperature at which you want to cook. The readout should indicate "preheat" and when a buzzer sounds it's ready to cook. Convection and combination cooking is good only for foods that you want to brown and crisp like; breads, pie crusts, pizza, and breaded foods. Cooking by microwave is the fastest and most convenient so most of your cooking should be done by microwave only. Use the convection mode for browning after microwaving and don't worry about preheating, just set the temperature and add the food and cook until done as you prefer.
