Cuisinart TOB-200 Rotisserie Convection Toaster Oven

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions.
UNPLUG FROM OUTLET WHEN NOT IN USE, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning or handling.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord or plug, or place any part of the oven in water or other liquids. See instructions for cleaning on page 14.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped or damaged in any way or is not operating properly. Return the oven to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair, or mechanical or electrical adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or countertop where it could be pulled on inadvertently by children or pets. Do not let cord touch hot surfaces, which could damage it.
Do not place oven on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
Do not use this oven for anything other than its intended purpose.
Do not place sealed or airtight containers in the oven.
Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of materials other than metal, glass or ceramic in the oven.
To avoid burns, use extreme caution when removing trays, pans, racks, accessories or disposing of hot grease.
When not in use, always unplug the unit. Do not store any materials other than manufacturer’s recommended accessories in this oven.
Do not place paper, cardboard, plastic or similar products in the oven.
Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven except the baking pan with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
Do not block the top of the oven, steam vents, or any other openings while in use.
Oversize foods, metal foil packages and utensils must not be inserted in the oven, as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.
A fire may occur if the oven is covered or touching flammable materials such as curtains, draperies, walls and the like when in operation. Do not store any items on top of the appliance when in operation. Do not operate under wall cabinets.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, involving a risk of electric shock.
Do not attempt to dislodge food when the oven is plugged into an electrical outlet.
CAUTION: To avoid possibility of fire, never leave oven unattended during use.
Do not rest cooking utensils or baking dishes on glass door.
Where applicable, always attach plug to appliance and check that the cooking cycle is stopped before plugging cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, press the Start/Stop button to stop the cooking cycle, then remove plug from wall outlet.
Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
Press the Start/Stop button to begin or stop cooking function.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over unintentionally or pulled on by children.

NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS

Place the box on a large, sturdy, flat surface.
Open the box and remove the instruction book and any other literature.

CONVECTION
Convection uses a fan to circulate heated air around food as it cooks. Convection cooking cooks food faster and more evenly. Most recipes recommend reducing temperatures by 25ºF or reducing cooking time using convection.
You may select Convection with most cooking functions: Bake, Broil, Roast, Pizza, Rotisserie, Keep Warm or Leftovers. First select the function and set the oven temperature and time. Then press the Conv button to activate the convection fan. The oven will display the Convection icon. You may turn on Convection at any time as you are setting the function during preheating or during cooking. You may turn off Convection at any time by pressing the Conv button again.

ROTISSERIE
Put the baking pan on the rack in position 1. When using the Rotisserie function always begin with a cold oven and always have the baking pan in place to catch any grease.
Press the Rotisserie button (Rotis). Select either Chicken, Duck, Meat or Custom by turning the Selector dial and then pressing the dial. Bake temperature will flash. Turn Selector dial to select the temperature and press. Time will flash. Turn the dial to adjust the time and press. Convection is preset in all Rotisserie settings. It can be turned off at any time before or after you press Start/Stop by pressing the Conv button. Press Start/Stop to begin the cooking cycle and the timer will begin counting down.

Insert the food, on rotisserie spit, into the oven before selecting the Rotisserie function. For instruction on how to attach and truss poultry see following page. Be sure to position the spit correctly inside the oven. The right side has 1 notch and a slightly rounded tip. The left side has 2 notches and a flat end. Once the spit is inserted into the oven, press Start/Stop.

Note that for each type of food (Chicken, Duck or Meat) the oven has a specialized cooking program. For the first 10 minutes of every cycle, all 4 heating elements will turn on for rapid preheating. After 10 minutes and for remainder of the cycle only the top 2 heating elements will be cycling on and off according to the program to maintain the set oven temperature and cook the rotisserie food to perfection. During the final phase of the programs for Chicken, Duck and Meat, the oven temperature will be automatically increased to enhance and crisp the poultry skin or outer surface of the food.
Use the Custom Rotisserie option to set any desired temperature and time for other types of food such as fish, vegetables, or fruit.
The oven will beep when the cooking time has expired. The oven will shut off and the display will revert to the clock.

Tips for cooking duck:

When using the rotisserie duck function, line the baking pan with two clean pieces of aluminum foil, one positioned left to right and the other front to back. The edges of the foil should be raised about ½ -inch over the pan walls around all four edges (see the picture below). This will help reduce excess duck grease from splattering and dripping.
Do not open the door during the last 15 minutes of the duck cooking cycle to avoid contact with hot grease. Once the cooking cycle has finished and the oven has turned off, take care that the duck grease is notbubbling in the pan or splattering when you remove the duck. Do not remove the baking pan until the oven and pan are fully cool.

Trussing Poultry
Tying meats ensures even cooking. It is important to use butcher’s twine to tie items that are to be prepared for the Rotisserie function. First truss the item and then secure it onto the rotisserie spit and skewers.

First insert the rotisserie spit into the food for rotisserie (Fig. 1).
Insert the skewers at different angles to hold the food more firmly (Fig. 2).
Next, install the fixing screws to secure the meat or poultry to the rotisserie spit.

There are different methods of trussing, but all aim to achieve the same results. Tuck the wings underneath the chicken to secure them. For trussing, use a length of butcher’s twine that is approximately 4 or 5 times the length of the chicken. Place the middle of the twine under the tail, bring both sides up and cross over the top of the tail. Wrap ends of the twine around the end of each drumstick and pull to draw the legs together, crossing ends over each other again. Turn the bird over. Pull ends of twine up over the thighs and wrap around the upper wings, catching the tips of the wings in the loop. The twine is wrapped around the wing close to the body, and then both ends are brought to the upper side. If there is a flap of skin at the neck, it is folded up and the two ends of twine are tied over it.

Brining
Brining leaner cuts of meat such as poultry, turkey, and pork in a saltwater solution produces juicier roasts. The difference between brined and non-brined meats is very noticeable. If you have the time it is definitely recommended. The rule to follow is to use a cup of table salt or 1½ cups kosher salt for every gallon of water. Or, for smaller cuts of meat, ½ cup kosher salt for every quart of water. Simply mix salt and water together. Place item to be brined in a non-reactive container or sealable plastic bag large enough to completely immerse the meat. Pour in the brine, cover, and refrigerate.

The amount of time needed to brine depends on how big the roast is. Following is a simple guideline:

Whole chicken 3–8 hours
Chicken parts 1–2 hours
Turkey breast 4–6 hours
Game hens 1–2 hours
Pork chops 2–6 hours
Pork tenderloin 2–6 hours
Pork loin 24 hours

It is important to thoroughly rinse and dry the meat once you remove it from the brine, so when it roasts it will be juicy, not salty.

Heaters
Please note that the oven’s four heaters are programmed to turn on and off and run at different powers for each of the functions, so you may not always see all of the heaters glowing red. For some functions the heaters are programmed to run at a lower power and they will not glow as bright red as the other heaters. For example, the Bagel function uses full power on the top heaters and half power on the bottom heaters.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.

Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleaning agent to a cloth, not to the toaster oven, before cleaning.
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 metal scouring pads on interior of oven.
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 with nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the oven without the crumb tray in place.
Wire rack, baking/drip pan, broiling rack, spit, skewers and crumb tray should be hand-washed in hot, sudsy water or use a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush. To extend the life of your accessories, we do not recommend that these be placed in the dishwasher.
Never wrap the cord around the outside of the oven. Use the cord storage cleats on the back of the oven.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
IMPORTANT: After cooking greasy foods and after your oven has cooled, always clean top interior of oven. If this is done on a regular basis, your oven will perform like new and help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after cycle.

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Cake batter:

11⁄3 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄3 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces and room temperature
½ cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 large egg
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1⁄3 cup buttermilk
1 cup fresh blueberries

Pizza

Basic Pizza Dough

This dough can be used for more than just the obvious, although who doesn’t love homemade pizza? Check our website, www.cuisinart.com, for additional pizza and calzone recipes.

Makes 1½ pounds dough (two 12-inch crusts)

2¼ teaspoons (1 standard packet) active dry yeast
1½ teaspoons granulated sugar
1 cup warm water (105°F to 110°F)
3 cups bread flour (you may substitute unbleached, all-purpose flour)
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for coating ball of dough

In a liquid measuring cup dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (Note: If the yeast does not foam within 10 minutes, it is not active and you should toss it and start again.)
Insert the dough or metal chopping blade into the work bowl of a Cuisinart® Food Processor. Add the flour, salt and olive oil. Pulse a few times to combine. With the machine running, pour the liquid yeast mixture through the feed tube as fast as the flour absorbs it. Process until the dough cleans the sides of the work bowl and forms a ball. Continue to process for 30 seconds to knead the dough. Dough should be slightly sticky.
Lightly coat the inside of a large bowl with olive oil. Add dough, turn to coat in oil and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draftfree place for about 1 hour; dough should double in size.
Place dough on a lightly floured surface and gently fold over to “punch” down. Form into desired crust size(s) as directed by recipe.

Gluten-Free Pizza Dough

Finally! Pizza that folks with allergies can cheer about.

Makes about 1 pound dough (about two 10-inch crusts)

¾ cup tapioca flour
¾ cup white rice flour, plus additional for dusting and rolling
1⁄3 cup quinoa flour
1⁄3 cup arrowroot flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
½ cup rice milk
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Extra rice flour for dusting and rolling

Put the flours, xanthan gum, salt and sugar into the bowl of a Cuisinart® Stand Mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix on speed 3 to combine. Stir the rice milk, water and olive oil together in a liquid measuring cup.
With the stand mixer running on speed 3, slowly add the liquid ingredients. Once a dough ball is formed, knead the dough for about 1 to 2 minutes between speeds 4 and 5. Should dough seem dry, add 1 tablespoon of additional water to the bowl at a time while mixing until the dough ball is able to clean the sides of the bowl. Be sure the water is fully incorporated before adding the next tablespoon (alternatively, should the dough be too sticky, add white rice flour 1 tablespoon at a time until dough reaches a smooth consistency).
When ready to roll, dust a large surface with rice flour. Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll dough out into about a 10-inch circle.
Liberally dust a pizza peel with or the bottom of a sheet tray with rice flour. Transfer pizza dough to well-floured surface and add desired pizza toppings before baking.

Savory Stuffed Acorn Squash

Not only are the flavors rich and delicious, but the varying textures in this dish stand out at any dinner table.

Makes 4 servings

2 acorn squashes (about 1¼ to 2 pounds each), halved length wise and seeded
2½ teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 small to medium shallot, finely chopped
1 cup Israeli (pearl) couscous
1 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2¼ cups chicken broth, low sodium
½ cup chopped, dried apricots
¼ cup shelled pistachios, toasted

Adjust the rack to position 2. Set the oven to Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes.
Line the baking pan with foil and put the squash halves, cut side up, on top. Brush the inside of each squash with oil, about ½ teaspoon per half, and sprinkle each with salt and pepper, about a pinch per half. Bake in the preheated oven for the allotted time, or until the flesh of the squash is just fork tender. Remove and set aside.
While squash is baking, put the remaining olive oil in a sauté pan set over medium heat. Once hot, add the shallot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the couscous, chickpeas, cumin, cinnamon and remaining salt and pepper. Sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes to toast the couscous. Add the broth and increase heat to bring the liquid to a strong simmer. Once simmering, cook partially covered, stirring occasionally for about 10 to 15 minutes, until almost all the liquid is absorbed by the couscous and the filling has a creamy consistency. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the apricots and pistachios and cover. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Evenly divide the couscous mixture among the squash halves. Return squash to the oven and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes, or until just golden on top.

1⁄3 cup whole milk, plus 1 tablespoon for brushing
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for brushing
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1¾ teaspoons active dry yeast
3 tablespoons warm water (105°F–110°F)
3 cups bread flour
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg, lightly beaten

In a small saucepan combine the milk, butter and sugar. Warm over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and set aside until cooled to room temperature.

Bittersweet Espresso Brownies with Ganache

Whether topped with our indulgent Ganache or not, these sinful brownies are impossible to resist.

Makes 16 brownies

Brownies:

Nonstick cooking spray

¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, cubed
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons espresso powder
½ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs
1½ cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Ganache:

2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
½ teaspoon espresso powder Pinch kosher salt
¼ cup heavy cream

Lightly coat a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
Put the butter and both chocolates into a heatproof bowl and place over a pot of simmering water. Once the butter/chocolate mixture is almost completely melted, stir in cocoa powder and espresso powder. Once chocolate is completely melted, stir in flour and salt; set aside to cool to room temperature.
Using a Cuisinart® Hand Mixer fitted with the mixing beaters, beat the eggs to break them slightly, then gradually add the sugar. Mix until light and thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add vanilla and beat until well combined. Fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until the batter is no longer streaky. Pour the batter into prepared pan. Tap pan on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.
Adjust the rack to position 2. Set the oven to Bake with Convection at 350°F for 20 minutes. Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and bake for the allotted time, or until edges are just dry. Cool completely and chill in the refrigerator overnight before frosting.
To make Ganache: Put the chopped chocolate, espresso powder and salt in a small, heatproof mixing bowl. Set aside. Put the cream in a small saucepan and bring to just a boil. Once heated, pour over chocolate mixture and allow to sit for a few minutes. After a few minutes have passed, whisk mixture until completely smooth. Allow to cool to body temperature, where the ganache is no longer hot, but still spreadable. Spread over the top of the brownies. Chill in refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Slice with a sharp knife and serve.
