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.

(You may hear a slight clicking sound indicating the oven is working properly.)

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing after being removed from the oven. Recommended standing time 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 10¡F. If you wish to compensate for temperature rise, remove the roast from the oven when its internal temperature is 5¡ to 10¡F. less than temperature shown 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.

Adjust the Oven

1. Position oven shelf at (B) position.

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

in a shallow pan.

The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of meat as possible. (Broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer?

A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the

completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at half- hour intervals after half the time has passed.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to carve it?

A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to 20 minutes after removing from oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook a roast or poultry?

A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven.

Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips that would help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible, or buy rolled roasts.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil ÒtentÓ when roasting a turkey?

A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.
