Roasting, Use of Aluminum Foil

ROASTING

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for

meats, Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing. - after being removed from the oven. Standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10“F.;

to compensate for temperature increase, if desired, remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to 10“F. less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).

Remember that the food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

To change oven temperature during roasting, press the BAKE pad and then the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to get the new temperature.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan. This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.
