ROASTING

Do not lock the oven door with the door latch during roasting. This is used for self-cleaning only.

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)

E

position just above

D

the oven bottom.

C

Use it when extra

B

cooking space is

A

needed, for example,

R

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, 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. The standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. The internal temperature will rise about 3°C. to 8°C. (5° to 10°F.); to compensate for the temperature rise, if desired, remove the roast from oven sooner [3°C. to 8°C. (5° to 10°F.) less than the temperature 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.

Adjust the Oven Thermostat

1. Position the oven

 

at shelf (B)

 

position for small

 

size roast [1.3 to

 

2.3 kg (3 to 5 lbs.)]

B

and at (R) position

A

for larger roasts.

R

 

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

3.Press the BAKE pad.

4.Press the + or – pad until the desired temperature is displayed.

The oven will start automatically. The word “ON” and “100°” will be displayed. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound.

5.Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when roasting

is finished and then remove the food from the oven.

To change the oven temperature during the roasting cycle, press the BAKE pad and then the + or – 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.

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same time. For example: While roasting a 10 kg

(20-lb.) turkey on shelf (R), a second shelf may be added on position D so that an additional food such as scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time. Foods cooked with the turkey should be added toward the end of the time allowed for the turkey. For example, potatoes which cook for 1 hour should be added to the oven 1 hour before the end of cooking time for the turkey.
