•When using the roast mode, do not use pans with tall sides. They interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.
•If using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the center of the thickest portion of the meat.

•Reduce spatter by lining the bottom of the roasting pan with lightly crushed aluminum foil.
