Using and Caring for Your Oven

Using aluminum foil in the oven

(for baking)

NOTE: Do not line the oven bottom with foil or other liners. It could affect the oven surface as well as the quality of your baking.

•Do not cover the entire rack with alumi- num foil. It will reduce air circulation and give you poor cooking results.

•Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles by placing foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) larger than dish.

•Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if browning too quickly.

Roasting tips

•Roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan using a roasting rack.

•Use a roasting pan that fits the size of the food to be roasted. Meat juices may overflow the sides of a pan that is too small. Too large of a pan will result in increased oven spatter.

•Spatter can be reduced by lining the bottom of the roasting pan with lightly crushed aluminum foil.

•Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry to slow down surface browning for long-term roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.

•Use an accurate meat thermometer to determine when meat has reached desired degree of doneness. Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. For an accurate reading, the tip of the thermom- eter should not touch fat, bone, or gristle.

•After reading the thermometer once, push it further into the meat 1⁄2 inch (1 cm) or more and read again. If the temperature drops, return the meat to the oven for more cooking.

•Check pork and poultry with a thermom- eter in 2-3 places to ensure adequate doneness.

•Poultry and roasts will be easier to carve if loosely covered with foil and allowed to stand 10-15 minutes after removal from the oven.
