This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier [o carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5[’ to i ()” F.; to compensate for temperature increase, it’ desired, remove the roast from oven sooner (ut 5° to 10OF. less than temperature in the Rousting Guide).

●Thaw most frozen poultry before r(ms[ ing to ensure even doneness. Some commercial (roz.etl poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow” directions given on package label.

Dual Shelf Cooking

This JI1OWS more than one food to be cooked at the swne time. For example: While roasting a 20 lb. turkey on shelf (R) a second shelf may be added on position D so that scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same ti mc. Calculate the total cooking time to enable both dishes to complete cooking at the same time. Allow 15-20 minutes of additional cooking time for [he potatoes,”
