GE JGBC18, JGBS18 manual Dual Shelf Cooking, Use of Aluminum Foil

Page 17

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.

The oven has a special low shelf (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when roasting a large turkey. The shelf is not designed to slide out at this position.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore the oven controls are set for Baking.

(You may hear a slight clicking sound indicating the oven is working properly.)

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing after being removed from the oven. Recommended standing time 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. If you wish to compensate for temperature rise, remove the roast from the oven when its internal temperature is 5° to 10°F. less than temperature shown in the Roasting Guide.

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

1.Position oven shelf at (B) position for small size roast

(3 to 5 lbs.) and at

(R) position for larger roasts.

3.Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to the desired temperature. See the Roasting Guide for temperatures and approximate cooking times.

4.When roasting is finished, turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF and then remove the food from the oven.

2.Check the weight of the roast. Place the meat fat-side-up or the poultry breast-side-upon the roasting grid in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of meat as possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same time. For example: While roasting a 20-lb. turkey on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped) may be added on position D so that scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time. 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 the potatoes.

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.
