Main Fare Meats

Directions for Cooking Meats by Combination

Season roast as desired, but add salt after cooking. Salt can be used for cooking Pork.

Beef, Pork and Lamb Roasts: Place fat-side down on Low Rack with a dish underneath to catch drips. Place pork rib roasts, rib tips down on Low Rack.

Shield thin ends, cut edges and bony areas to prevent overcooking. To shield, place a thin strip of foil over top cut edges of roast. Cover tapered thinner section of roast with a small square of foil. (Foil should not touch sides of the oven, as arcing may occur.) Remove foil halfway through cooking time. Always turn meats over halfway through cooking.

Canned Ham (1.5 kg to 2.5 kg): Place on Low Rack. Shield top cut edge with a 4 cm wide strip of foil. Fold foil over top cut edge and down the sides. (Foil should not touch oven sides, as arcing may occur.)

Pot Roast (1.2 kg to 1.75 kg): Place meat, vegetables and seasonings in large oven proof casserole dish. Cover with a lid. If desired, the pot roast may be cooked in an oven cooking bag. Prepare the oven cooking bag according to package directions. Do not use wire or metal twist-ties. Use the nylon ties provided, or use a piece of cotton string or a strip cut from the oven bag. Place bag in oven proof casserole dish. Place dish on Ceramic Tray. Cook on Combination 1.

To Cook by Manual Combination:

Multiply the weight of the meat by the minimum recommended minutes per 500 grams. Cook meat on Combination 5 for beef roasts and pork roast and Combination 4 for lamb roasts using the times in the following chart.

roast to stand covered, for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the roast to sit and finish cooking.

Roasts are easier to carve after standing.

As with Microwave cooking, roasts cooked by Combination will continue to cook during the stand time. During stand time check the internal temperature of the roast using a Microwave or conventional thermometer. The thermometer should not touch bone or fat. If it does, the reading could be inaccurate. If the temperatures are lower than desired, return the roast to the oven and cook a few more minutes at the recommended Combination Setting.

DO NOT USE A MICROWAVE OR CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE OVEN WHEN COOKING BY COMBINATION. Stand 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
