GE JDP37, JDP36 manual Roasting, Use of Aluminum Foil

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, 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 automatically.

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing, after being removed from the oven. The standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F.; to compensate for temperature rise, 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 rack in a
shallow pan. The	B
melting fat will baste	A
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.)

3.Press the BAKE pad.

4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE

	pad. “350°” appears in the display.
	Continue pressing until the desired
	temperature is displayed.
	The oven will start automatically.
	The word “ON” and “100°” will be
	displayed. As the oven heats up, the
	display will show the changing
	temperatures. When the oven reaches the
	temperature you set, a tone will sound.
	5. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when
CLEAR	roasting is finished, and then remove
OFF	the food from the oven.

NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may continue to run even 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.

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.
