Roasting

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during

roasting_ The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

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,,

The oven has a special low

shelf position (R) just above the oven bottom_ Use it

when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when roasting a large turkey,, The shelf is not designed to slide out at this position,

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 I0 to 20 minutes, This allows the roasts

to firm up and makes them easier to carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5° to t0°F (3° to 6°C). If you wish to compensate for the temperature rise, remove the roast from the oven when its internal temperature is 5° to 10°F (3° to 6°C) less than the temperature shown in the Roasting Guide°

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven, even after it has been turned off, and should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached..

1.Position oven shelf at position B for small size roast (3 to 5 Ibs, [1.3 to 2,3 kg]) and at position R for larger roasts,

2.Check the weight of the meat,, Place the meat

fat-side-up or the 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..)

3.Press the BAKE pad.,

4.Press the ,6. or V pads until the desired temperature is displayed,,

5.Press the START pad

The oven will start automatically° The display will show PRE while preheating,, When the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven control will beep several times and the display wilt show the oven temperature

To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, press the BAKE pad and then the A or T pads to get the new temperature,

6.Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe,, Cook longer if necessary,

7.Press the STOP/CLEAR pad when baking is finished 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 20-1b_(10 kg) turkey on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped) may be added on position D so that an additional food such as scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time. Foods cooked with the turkey should be added toward the end of the time allowed for the turkey, For example, potatoes which cook for 1 hour should be added to the oven t hour before the end of cooking time for the turkey.

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes per pound (450 grams) additional time (15 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds [2.3 kg], more time for larger roasts),

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly, Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing,. Follow the directions given on the package label
