Part # MPSM07 (03/24/08) Page 29COOKING WITH MOISTUREA key feature of the moisture+ is the ability to inject moistureinto the oven cavity during operation Typically, this results inshorter cook times, greater yield and improved texture, flavorand appearance of food productsThe moisture+ system offers several methods for controllingmoisture injection While these functions provide a greatdegree of flexibility, it is possible to program settings for aproduct or cook cycle that will produce excessive moistureThis may result in accumulation of water in pans or in thebottom of the oven Appropriate levels of moisture injectionshould not produce puddles of water Because there ispotential for food products and cooking methods to varygreatly among different operations, the moisture settingpresets and any moisture injection guidelines set forth inthese instructions are intended as suggested starting pointsonly Some experimentation may be necessary to producedesirable results on a consistent basisMechanical Control, (Standard Models)Mechanical control-equipped models offer two methods ofmoisture injection controlManual Injection: Moisture can be injected manually at anytime during a cooking cycle while the timer is operatingusing the Moisture Switch on the control panel The manual,(MAN), position of this switch is spring loaded Moisture willbe injected into the oven cavity when the switch is pressedUse the switch in this way to occasionally add moistureduring a cooking cycle Depending on the product, it may bebeneficial to manually inject moisture at specific times duringa cooking cycle For example, several short injections justafter loading a batch of bread will help set a crust, whereasmoisture injection throughout the entire baking cycle wouldnot be desirableAutomatic Injection: Moisture can be injected continuouslythroughout a cooking cycle by placing the moisture switchin the automatic, (AUTO), position Turn the moisture settingdial clockwise to increase the amount of moisture, (injectionfrequency) Turn the moisture setting dial counterclockwise todecrease the moisture injection frequencyProgrammable Control, (Deluxe Models)Manual Injection: With the deluxe model, moisture can beinjected manually at any time during a cooking cycle bypressing the moisture key in the upper right corner of thekeypad (Moisture cannot be injected manually when the fanis running in Pulse mode )Automatic Injection: The programmable control featuresfour pre-programmed moisture settings: Bread, Meat, Poultryand Fish When programming the oven settings, the user isprompted to choose a moisture setting Press the N/Scroll keyto step through the list of choices (Choose ‘None’ if automaticmoisture injection is not desired during the cooking cycle )Preset RecommendedTemperature RangeRecommendedFan SpeedBread 300°-325ºF HighMeat 250°-325ºF LowPoultry 325°-400ºF HighFish 300°-400ºF HighFigure 6Recommended temperature and fan speed settings for use withpre-programmed moisture settingsIf automatic moisture injection has been programmed duringa Cook & Hold cycle, (as described on page 18), or a CoreProbe cycle, (as described on page 19), moisture injection willcontinue during the Hold portion of these operationsWhen programming a recipe key, (as described on page 20),each profile within the recipe can be programmed with adifferent moisture setting If a Hold cycle is included in therecipe programming, moisture will continue to be injectedinto the oven during the Hold cycleUser Moisture SettingsThis function is recommended only for advanced users thathave experience cooking with moisture1 When programming moisture settings, (as described onpage 18, step 4), select USER2 These user settings are available: High, Med/High,Medium, Med/Low, Low, and None These settings areintended to provide the user with additional flexibilitywhen programming the moisture injection frequency anddurationPress the N/Scroll key repeatedly to step through theavailable moisture setting choices until the desired settingis displayed Press the Y/Enter key (Choose None to exitUSER mode and return to moisture presets )Note: There are no predetermined recommendationsfor using these settings. Some experimentation may benecessary to produce desirable results on a consistent basis.The importance of avoiding excessive moisture cannot beoverstressed. Even a small amount of water puddling isnot desirable. If puddling does occur, be sure to adjust themoisture settings accordingly.Tips For Cooking With MoistureAs a general rule, convection ovens allow for lowertemperatures and shorter cook times than typically used withconventional ovens The introduction of moisture acceleratescooking even moreUse caution to avoid overloading the oven with moistureExperimentation with various products and settings may benecessary to find combinations that produce the best results
