Pizza - Frozen
The SMART COOK FROZEN PIZZA setting
is ideal for reheating frozen pizza so the dough
is crisp and the toppings hot and melted.
Cook times are based on pizza directly from
the freezer (approx. -18°C).
Preheat the crisper pan in the upper position
by following the prompts in the SMART
COOK FROZEN PIZZA setting.
Once the pan has completed preheating,
carefully remove the hot crisper pan from the
microwave using ovenproof mitts.
Arrange pizza slices on the pan making sure
thicker ends are positioned towards the outer
edges of the crisper pan. Place crisper pan
in the centre of the turntable in the upper
position.
Turn the AMOUNT dial to select number of
slices and press START to begin cooking.
Halfway through the cook program, the oven
will beep and will flash “stir/turn food”. Pause
and carefully pull out the crisper pan. Re-
arrange food so that the food in the centre of
the pan is moved to the outside and vice versa.
Return crisper pan to the microwave and press
START to continue.
At the end of the cooking cycle, allow pizza
slices to stand for 5 minutes in the crisper pan
before removing and serving.
Dried - Herbs
The SMART COOK DRIED HERBS setting
heats fresh herbs so they become dry and
crisp in texture. It is a great way to use up an
abundance of fresh herbs in your garden as
they will retain good colour and fragrance for
longer than store bought varieties.
For best results use hard herbs such as thyme,
rosemary, sage, oregano and even continental
parsley.
Pick leaves off the fresh herbs and discard the
stalk or stem. Wash gently in a sieve to remove
any grit and dirt. Shake to remove excess water
and pat dry with a paper towel.
Line crisper pan with 2 layers of paper towel,
measure herbs and place onto the crisper pan
in a single layer. Place crisper pan in the centre
of the turntable in the lower position.
Turn the AMOUNT dial to select cup size and
press START to begin cooking.
Halfway through the cook program, the oven
will beep and will flash “stir/turn food”. Pause
and carefully pull out the crisper pan. Turn
herbs, return crisper pan to the microwave and
press START to continue.
At the end of the cooking cycle, if herbs are to
your desired crispness, remove to a cold plate.
If herbs require more heating, remove paper
towel and allow herbs to stand for 5-10 minutes
in the crisper pan, stirring once or twice during
this time.
Store your dried herbs in an airtight container
in a dark cupboard for 6-12 months.
Pies & Pastries - Frozen
The SMART COOK FROZEN PIES &
PASTRIES setting is ideal for reheating any

golden. It is suitable for foods such as meat
pies, apple pies, party pies, sausage rolls,
danishes and crumbles.
Cook times are based on pies and pastries
directly from the freezer (approx. -18°C).
Preheat the crisper pan in the upper position
by following the prompts in the SMART
COOK FROZEN PIES & PASTRIES setting.
Once the pan has completed preheating,
carefully remove the hot crisper pan from the
microwave using ovenproof mitts.
Arrange pies or pastries on the pan allowing
1-2 cm gaps between the pieces in the crisper
pan. Place crisper pan in the centre of the
