Roasting/Baking Hints
•Always preheat roaster prior to baking.
•Use the wire baking rack to place casserole dishes and baking
pans on during cooking time. This will allow for more even baking.
•Two loaf pans will fit into the roasting pan. A meat and a vegetable may be baked at the same time.
•Line the baking rack with aluminum foil and use as a baking sheet.
•Most 1- and
•Three
•Convenience foods can be baked in the roaster oven. Follow package directions.
•Baking pans should always be placed on the rack. Do not place pans on the bottom of the roaster pan.
•Metal pans are recommended for use in the roaster as they provide better heat transfer and browning.
Steaming
•No fat is used when steaming, so it’s an easy way to cook tasty and nutritious low calorie foods.
Slow Cooking
•To convert a standard recipe to slow cooking, slow cook
about 1½ hours at 200ºF to 250ºF for each 30 minutes required in a standard recipe. Note that when slow cooking, it is not necessary to use the rack. The low temperature prevents the meat from sticking to the bottom of the roasting pan. Cover before cooking.
