ROAST~G

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 to BA~

or TMED BA~. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.) Roasting is easy; just follow these directions:

How to Roast in the Right Oven

1.Place the shelf in position 1 or 2. No preheating is necessary.

2.Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat fat- side-up, or poultry breast-side-up, on roasting rack 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.) Line the broiler pan with aluminum foil when using the pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or basting food during cooking. Avoid spilling these materials inside the oven or inside the oven door.

3.Turn the OVEN SET knob to BA~ and the OVEN TEMP knob to 325°F. Small poultry may be cooked at 375°F. for best browning.

4.After roasting is complete, turn the OVEN SET and the OVEN TEMP knobs to OFF.

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. ktemal temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F. during standing. To compensate for this temperature increase, remove the roast from the oven before it reaches the temperature you want.

NOTE:

●You may wish to use Timed Baking to turn the oven on and off automatically.

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

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per pound additional time (1Ominutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

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

Then turn the LE~ OVEN knob to the desired temperature.

NOTE: If you use the broiler pan, be sure to use the pan designated for use in the left oven.

Questionsand Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer?

A. It is a good idea to check the finished intemd temperature at the completion of cooking time. Use a basic cookbook to find food temperatures.

Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips that would help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible, or buy rolled roasts.

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook a roast or poultry?

A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil ‘tent” when roasting a turkey?

A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.
