BAKING/ROASTING (CONT.)
4. When roasting, put your food in the oven. You do not have to preheat the oven when roasting, unless your recipe
recommends it.
NOTE: The oven will
cook normally even
though the preheat
countdown timer is displayed.
Roasting meats and poultry
•For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.
•Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of the largest muscle or thick- est portion of the meat or poultry. Make sure the thermometer is not touching bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.
