Brown Function
This program allows you to brown foods such as meat or poultry, to help bring
forth the best flavor and texture before cooking. Pat food dry with a paper towel
before browning. For best results, make sure the oil is hot before adding your food.
Brown the food in batches to keep the correct oil temperature for even browning.
