Gravies, Sauces, and Soups
Some water-based gravies, sauces, and soup mixes may be prepared in large portions by using this oven to
heat water and thicken the blended mixes.
Refrigerated gravies, sauces, and soups can be reheated quickly at HIGH power and may require stirring
during heating to produce an even temperature.
