Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide are only approximate, because the size and age of the bird will influence cooking times as will the shape of a joint and the proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. For large joints it is advisable to thaw overnight.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. The time required depends on the size of the bird - eg; a large turkey may take up to 48 hours to thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will reduce fat splashing and will help to keep the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or other vegetables can be roasted around the meat / poultry.
Notes:
●When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the stuffing.
●For joints cooked in foil or covered roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450 g (1lb) to the calculated cooking time.
●Smaller joints weighing less than 1.25kg (21⁄2lb) may require 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) extra cooking time.
●Position the oven shelf so that the meat or poultry will be in the centre of the oven.
●It is recommended that the appliance is cleaned after open roasting.
After setting the programmer, turn the oven control to the required temperature.
The oven will automatically switch on at the calculated start time of 16.00 hours (4.00 pm) (7).
A single press of the cook time button shows the cooking time remaining before the oven automatically switches off (8).
