Combination Cooking.

Place meat on a trivet in a glass dish to collect juices and prevent spattering.

For best roasting and browning results, whole roasts should be cooked in a glass dish placed directly on the oven shelf.

For foods that are too tall to fit in the oven, you can leave out the trivet. If necessary, you may take out the shelf and place the dish directly on the turntable.
