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. (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)

3.Turn the OVEN SET knob to BAKE and the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired temperature. See the Roasting Guide for temperatures and approximate cooking times.

4.When roasting is finished, turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and then remove the food from the oven.

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same time. For example: While roasting a 20-lb. turkey on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped) may be added on position D so that scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time. Calculate the total cooking time to enable both dishes to complete cooking at the same time. Allow 15-20 minutes of additional cooking time for the potatoes.

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.
