Roasting

If your model has a latch, do not lock the oven door during roasting. The latch 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 position (R) 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 the roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. The internal temperature wii! rise about 5° to 10°F (3° to 6°C).. If you wish to compensate for the temperature rise, remove the roast from the oven when its internal temperature is 5° to 10°F (3° to 6°C) tess than the 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

position B for small size roast (3 to 5 Ibs. [1.,3 to 2.3 kg]) and at position R for larger roasts.

2, Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat fat-side-up or the 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, Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired temperature (you may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly), See the Roasting Guide for temperatures and approximate cooking times°

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

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same time.. For example: While roasting a 20-lb. (10 kg) turkey on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped) 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 t hour should be added to the oven 1 hour before the end of cooking time for the turkey.

the foil tightly around the inside of the pan,,

 

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This wil! disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.. Aiuminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover,. To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a lower shelf several inches below the food.,

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc_, can be started without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes per pound (450 grams) additional time (15 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds [2.3 kg], more time for larger roasts),_

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow the directions given on the package label,.
