ROAST~G
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 pr(xedure used for meats.

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.

This allows roasts tu firm up ;Ind makes thcrn easier to carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5“ to 1OOF.; to compensate for temperature rise. if desired. rcmove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5“ to I()”F. less than the temperature in lhc Roasting Guide).
Remember that food will continue to co(]k in the hot oven and therei~)re shou]d be removed when the desired internal temperature has been rcachcd.
