A WORD ABOUT CARRY-OVER COOKING

After foods are pulled out of the oven, they will continue to cook. Carry-over cooking affects all foods; the larger the item,

the longer the carry-over time. It is best to let the food rest for 10 to 15 minutes after it comes out of the oven.

This will allow meat to retain its juices and baked goods to continue to set.
