•The roaster oven cooks turkeys in less time than conventional ovens. A 14- to 18-pound unstuffed turkey will cook in approximately 21⁄2 hours. A turkey cooked in the roaster oven is moist and juicy but does not brown. If you want a turkey with browned skin, please use the Turkey Browning Sauce in the “Recipes” section.

•The Roasting Chart lists cooking times for tender cuts of meat that are usually dry-roasted. These roasts are from the rib or sirloin area. To tenderize cuts from the leg (ham) or shoulder/chuck area, cook in liquid for a longer period of time.

•Times indicated are approximate and should be used only as a general guideline. Individual cuts of meat and personal preference may dictate longer or shorter roasting times.

Baking

The roaster oven can bake your favorite cakes, pies, breads, or casseroles like a conventional oven. Pans and dishes should be placed on the rack for best heat circulation. Using the rack is also recommended for convenience in removing hot dishes and pans from the roaster oven.

Do not remove the cover of the roaster oven unless necessary. Removing the cover allows heat to escape and affects the temperature of the roaster oven.
