When to Use the Baking Drawer

The baking drawer is highly recommended for baking frozen foods. Use the temperature and medium cooking time given on the frozen food packaging. For example, if the packaging suggests a cook time of 15 to 20 minutes, set the cook time to 17 minutes. Check food for doneness before removing it from the baking drawer.

It is not recommended to prepare foods taller than the height of the baking drawer rack handles or foods that may rise above 21 /2" (6.4 cm) in the baking drawer.
