Roasting Meats and Poultry

•We recommend the use of a meat ther- mometer to assure perfectly cooked roasts and poultry every time. If using a meat thermometer, the meat or poultry should be removed from the roaster oven when the thermometer reading is 5 to 10 degrees below the desired tem- perature. The internal temperature will continue to rise after the meat has been removed from the roaster oven.

•Most hams sold today are labeled as “Cook Before Eating” or “Fully Cooked.” Ham labeled “Cook Before Eating” has been smoked or cured but NOT cooked. This ham must be thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of 155 to 160°F (68 to 71ºC). The “Fully Cooked” hams have been smoked or cured and already cooked. The ham does not require fur- ther cooking, but heating to 140°F (60ºC) improves the flavor.

•The roaster oven cooks turkeys in less time than conventional ovens. A 14 to 18 pound (6.3-8.1 kg) unstuffed turkey will cook in approximately 21⁄2 hours. A turkey cooked in the roaster oven is moist and juicy, but does not brown. If you want turkey with browned skin, please use the Turkey Browning Sauce in the “Recipe” section.

•The Roasting Chart lists cooking times for tender cuts of meat that are usually dry-roasted. These roasts are from the rib or sirloin area. To tenderize cuts from the leg (ham) or shoulder/chuck area, cook in liquid for a longer period of time.

•Times indicated are approximate and should be used only as a general guide- line. Individual cuts of meat and personal preference may dictate longer or shorter roasting times.
