ROASTmG

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

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 trivet in a shallow 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 grid is a good pan for this.) Line the broiler pan with aluminum foil when using the pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats, or basting food during cooking. Avoid spilling these materials inside the oven or inside the oven door.

~3. Press the BAKE pad.

❑4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE A pad. The last oven set temperature

appears in tie display. Continue pressing until the desired temperature is displayed.

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

m 5. Press the CLEAWOFF pad when

CLEAR roasting is finished.

OFF

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing, 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.; to compensate for temperature increase, if desired, remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to IO°F. less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).

NOTE: You may wish to Time Bake, as described

in the Baking se~tion of this book, to turn 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.

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

Frozen Roasti

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