ROASTING

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, the oven controls are set for BAKE or Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.) Roasting is easy; just follow these directions:

1. Place the shelf in A

 

or B position. No

1

preheating is necessary.

2.Check the weight of the meat, and place, fat-side-up, or poultry

breast-side-up, on the

I

roasting rack in a

//,

 

shallo~ pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible. (The broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this.) Line the broiler pan with aluminum foil when using pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats, or basting food during cooking. Avoid spilling these materials inside the oven door.

(—]3. press the BAKE pad.

4.Press the INCREASE or nA DECREASE pad until the desired

~ temperature is displayed,

When the oven starts to heat, the word “ON” and the changing temperature, starting at 100°F., will be displayed. When the oven reaches the set temperature a tone will sound.

5.Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when

CLEAR baking is finished and then remove

n OFF the food from the oven.

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standirig, 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 IO”F. during standing time. To compensate for temperature rise, if desired, remove the roast from oven sooner (at 5° to 10“F. less than temperature in the Roasting Guide.)

NOTE:

●You may wish to use Timed Baking, as described in the Baking section of this guide, to turn the oven on and off automatically.

●Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

●A fan may automatically turn on to cool internal

parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to - run after the oven is turned off.

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

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure even doneness. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow the directions given on the package label.
