Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temper~tures, 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 to BAKE. Roasting is easy, just follow these directions:

1. Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating is

necessary.

/

2. Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat fat-side-

up, or poultry/

breast-side-up,I on roasting rick in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the lmeat. Select a pan as close to the size of’ the meat as possible. (The broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this. ) Line the broiler pan with aluminum t’oil when using the pan for marinating, :ooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats, or basting food during cooking. Avoid spilling these materials inside the oven or inside the oven door.

3.Push the BAKE button and turn the SET knob until the desired temperature is displayed. Check the Roasting Guide for temperatures and approximate cooking times.

4.After roasting is complete, push the CANCEL button. 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°F.;

to compensate for the temperature rise, if desired, remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5°F, less than the temperature in the guide below).

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per pound additional time (,10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure even doneness. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow directions given on package abel.
