Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
Preparation & Basket Layout

Convective Cooking & Shake Checkpoint
Set timer for 18 - 22 Mins. At minute 10, slide out the basket and gently turn each piece to expose the cooler under-surface to direct overhead coil radiation.
Check Doneness & Rest
Verify internal temperature reaches 145°F (Pull at 140°F) with an instant-read probe. Remove immediately from the hot pan so residual base heat does not overcook the bottom.
