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 Baking or 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.

Most meats continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven. The internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F. during the recommended standing time of 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. To compensate for this rise in temperature, you may want to remove the roast 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.

How to Set Your Oven for Roasting

1.Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating is necessary.

2.Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat fat side up, or poultry breast side up, on roasting grid 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.)

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.

ZEK755 specifications

The GE Monogram ZEK755 is an advanced electric cooktop designed to offer professional-grade performance in a sleek and elegant package. This high-end appliance combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for culinary enthusiasts and home chefs alike.

One of the standout features of the ZEK755 is its induction cooking technology. Induction cooktops heat pots and pans directly through electromagnetic energy rather than heating the surface of the cooktop. This results in faster cooking times, improved energy efficiency, and precise temperature control. With induction, users can quickly bring water to a boil or simmer sauces with unmatched accuracy, making it ideal for a variety of cooking techniques.

The ZEK755 boasts five cooking elements, each offering different power levels to accommodate all types of cooking needs. The largest induction burner is capable of delivering an impressive amount of wattage, providing quick heat for large pots and pans. The independent controls for each burner allow for multitasking in the kitchen, making it easy to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously.

Another key feature of the GE Monogram ZEK755 is its sleek, easy-to-clean surface. The ceramic glass cooktop is not only visually appealing but also resistant to scratches and spills. Any food or liquid that spills over evaporates quickly due to the induction heating, meaning that there is less mess to clean up after cooking.

Safety is also a top priority with the ZEK755. The cooktop includes built-in safety features such as automatic shut-off and control lock settings. This ensures that the cooktop will turn off after a period of inactivity, preventing accidents and ensuring peace of mind when cooking.

The cooktop’s modern design integrates seamlessly into a variety of kitchen aesthetics. Its frameless design and minimalist appearance give it a contemporary look, while its durable construction means it’s built to last.

In summary, the GE Monogram ZEK755 is a sophisticated electric cooktop that brings professional performance and modern technology into the home kitchen. With its induction cooking technology, versatile burner options, safety features, and easy-to-clean surface, it is a worthy investment for anyone serious about cooking.
