· Cook Plate Shelf Accessory (CP10): Aids in browning and crisping of breads, pizzas, and more
· Non-Stick Basket (SB10S, TB10S, MB10S): Aids in browning and crisping of food Also makes cleaning up easier Great for breaded products like chicken fingers, fries, mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers. (SB10S, TB10S, MB10S have solid bottom)
· Pizza Stone(ST10R): Aids in crisping and browning breads and pizzas
· Panini Grill Accessory (RGR10): Aids in adding grill marks on a product
· Oven Paddle (PA10, PA10R): Aids in removal of sandwiches and pizza from XpressChefTM 3i high speed combination oven PA10R paddle designed to store under XpressChefTM 3i oven with installed LG10 leg kit (purchased separately)

· Ceramic Dish: Great for foods that need to be contained such as ready-to- serve foods, cut vegetables or soups. (Available off the shelf)
4 The most frequently used oven temperature is 520º F (270º C) Reduce the oven temperature if the product is cooked for an extended period of time
5 Line pans with parchment paper for easy removal of food after heating and cleaning
6 Muffin tins (6 cup) work great for individual cakes & brownies. Spray with cooking spray prior to cooking for easy removal of food after heating
7 Frequent cleaning prevents unnecessary buildup that may affect the oven performance. 8 Use a cleaner such as ACP Oven Cleaner (CL10 (US), CL10W (EU)) & ACP Oven Shield Protectant (SH10 (US), PR10W
(EU)), or another cleaning product that does NOT contain ammonia, phosphates, chlorine, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide as they can damage critical oven parts and may void the warranty on those parts For best results, use non- stick liners and replace whenever you encounter excessive peeling or wear
9 Items will be hot when finished cooking. Use oven mitt, tongs ,or pizza paddle to safely remove items from oven.

When to Use Stage Cooking
