This versatile cooker combines infrared, conduction heat and convection
technology to keep foods moist on the inside yet browned and crispy on
the outside – all without the use of added fats or oils.
Infrared heat cooks food from inside out, sealing in juices. Conduction
heat targets the surface of the food for browning. Convection circulates
the hot air to cook the food evenly and speeds cooking up to 3 times
faster. Pre-programmed settings take the guesswork out of cooking:
hamburger, steak, pork chops, salmon steak, chicken pieces, whole
chicken, pizza and thaw/wash dehydrate. You can also manually set the
cooking time and temperature.
