COOKING FUNCTIONS

TOAST/BAGEL:
Always have the rack in the upper position, as indicated in the diagram on page 6, for even toasting. Always center your item/items in the middle of the rack.

1. Make sure the oven rack is in the upper position, as indicated in the diagram on page 6. If toasting two items, center them in the middle of the rack. Four items should be evenly spaced – two in front, two in back. Six items should be evenly spaced – three in front, three in back.
2. Close the glass door. Set dial to desire function (Toast or Bagel).
3. Turn shade dial to desired browning setting. Press START/STOP button to begin cycle.
4. When the toasting cycle is finished, the oven will beep 5 times and turn off. If you wish to stop the toasting cycle before it is finished, simply press the START/STOP button.

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.

1. Turn the function dial to Bake and the temperature dial to the desired temperature.
2. Press START/STOP button to begin bake cycle. Allow the oven to preheat for at least five minutes before putting some foods in the oven to bake, such as cakes and other baked goods.
3. To cancel/end cycle, press START/STOP button.

PIZZA:

1. Place rack or pan in the lower position if pre-baking the crust. Place rack or pan in the upper position for top-melting cheese.
2. Set function dial to Pizza, set temperature dial accordingly, press the START/STOP button to begin cycle.
3. To cancel/end cycle, press START/STOP button.

BROIL:
Broiling function can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish and more.
It also can be used to top-brown casseroles and gratins.
Caution: Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the crumb tray.
Foil is extremely dangerous when broiling fatty foods. Grease will accumulate and may catch fire. If foil is used to cover the baking pan, be sure foil is tucked neatly around the pan and does not touch the walls or heating rods. Never cover the crumb tray.

1. Turn the function dial to Broil and turn the temperature dial to Broil.
2. Press START/STOP button to begin. Allow the oven to preheat for at least five minutes before putting food in the Toaster Oven Broiler to broil.

NOTE: Never use glass dishes to broil.
WARM:

1. Turn the function and temperature dials to Warm.
2. Press START/STOP button. To cancel/end cycle,  press START/STOP button.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.

1. Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet.

2. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. If using cleaning agent, apply to cloth, not to the Toaster Oven Broiler, before cleaning.

3. To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution or a spray solution on a sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products. These could damage the oven surface. Never use scouring soap pads on interior of oven.

4. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs.
   Wipe clean and replace. To remove baked-on grease, soak the tray in hot, sudsy water or use nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the Toaster Oven Broiler without the crumb tray in place.

5. Wire rack, pan and crumb tray should be hand-washed in hot, sudsy water or use a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush.

6. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the oven. Use the cord storage cleats on the back of the oven.

7. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

IMPORTANT:
After cooking greasy foods and after your oven has cooled, always clean interior of Toaster Oven Broiler. If this is done on a regular basis, your Toaster Oven Broiler will perform like new. Removing the grease will help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after cycle.

Chicken & Black Bean Enchiladas
There is little prep needed for this quick dish, making it a great midweek meal.
Makes 8 servings

Pinch kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray
1|  cup red enchilada sauce (store-bought or see www.cuisinart.com for a recipe), divided
8| 6-inch corn tortillas
1| green onion, thinly sliced
Lime wedges for serving

1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the shredded chicken with ½ cup of the cheese, beans, green chiles, lime juice, pinch of salt and pepper.

2. Assemble the enchiladas: To make the tortillas more pliable, wrap them in a damp towel and microwave for about 15 seconds. Keep them covered until using. Spray the baking pan with cooking spray.
   Spread ½ cup of the enchilada sauce in the pan.

3. Place the first tortilla in the pan. Turn to coat with sauce, place a heaping ¼ cup of the filling in the middle and fold over two sides to close. Turn over so the seam side is down, and push the tortilla to one side. Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding more sauce if needed or desired. Once all are filled and fit tightly into the pan, top them with the remaining sauce and shredded cheese.

4. Put pan into the lower position and set to 350°F on the Bake setting.
   Bake for about 15 minutes, or until top of the enchiladas are nicely melted and lightly browned.

5. Remove and top with the sliced green onion and serve with lime wedges on the side.

*You can use a prepared rotisserie chicken, or you can roast one in the Cuisinart® Toaster Oven Broiler. To make it yourself, use a 4- to 5-pound whole chicken. First line the baking pan with aluminum foil. Then place the chicken on the pan. Rub with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Squeeze ½ lemon over the entire chicken and then stuff lemon into the cavity. Put into the Toaster Oven Broiler in the lower position. Bake at 350°F on the Bake setting for about 45 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken). The breast should register around 160°F and the leg should be 170°F. Allow to fully cool before breaking down and shredding the chicken.

Old-Fashioned Yellow Layer Cake
This is the ultimate birthday cake. Just top with a rich chocolate frosting and some candles and you’ll look for reasons to celebrate just so you can make it.
Makes one 9-inch double layer cake (about 12 servings)
Softened unsalted butter, for pan

cubes
2| large eggs
2| large egg yolks
1| teaspoon pure vanilla extract
²∕³| cup plain yogurt (you may use vanilla yogurt, but halve the amount of vanilla extract in the recipe if you choose to use it in place of plain yogurt)

1. Preheat the Toaster Oven Broiler to 350°F on the Bake setting with the pan in the lower position.
2. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan, and then cut a circle out of parchment paper to fit in the bottom of the pan; reserve.
3. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Add the butter. Using a hand mixer fitted with the beater attachments, mix until the butter is well incorporated into the dry ingredients, giving the mixture the look of wet sand. This will take 1 to 2 minutes.
4. In a small bowl or large liquid measuring cup, mix the remaining wet ingredients together. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry/butter mixture and beat until combined – be sure to not over-mix.
5. Transfer the thick batter to the prepared cake pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
6. Let pan rest on a cooling rack for 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan, but let it cool completely before frosting (see www.cuisinart.com for a variety of frosting recipes).

NOTE: The cake can be used as one thick layer, but it is most impressive when halved. To do so, use a serrated knife and evenly and carefully slice in half, horizontally, through the center.
