Whenever we were worried about chicken overcooking or fries getting too brown, we could use the light button to illuminate the inner basket. From there, we could determine whether we wanted to take the food out early, add more time to the recipe, or just stare longingly at it until the timer beeped. Once this Smart Cooking function starts, the display will show the target temperature and cooking time immediately, there’s no preheating time. You can place food right on the cooking tray, without using foil or other coverings. For the Baking program only, you can use a metal or glass baking dish to hold things like batter for cakes and dough for bread. Place the baking dish inside the cooking basket for baking.
