ROASTING

Do not lock the oven door with the latch 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.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.

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. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F.; to compensate for temperature increase, if desired, remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to 10°F. less than the temperature 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.Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating is necessary.

2.Check the weight of the

meat. Place it, fat side up,
(or for poultry, breast-
side-up) on a roasting
grid in a shallow pan. The	B
melting fat will baste the	A
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.Press the BAKE pad.

4.Press the + or – pad. The last oven set temperature appears in the display.

+Continue pressing until the desired temperature is displayed.

The word “ON” and “100°” will be

–displayed. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound.

5.Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when roasting

CLEAR is finished.

To change the oven temperature during roasting, press the BAKE pad and then the + or – pad to get the new temperature.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan. This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.
