BAKING/ROASTING (CONT.)

4.When roasting, put your food in the oven.

You do not have to preheat the oven when roasting, unless your recipe recommends it.

Roasting meats and poultry

For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.

Use a meat thermometer for the most accu- rate doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of the largest muscle or thickest portion of the meat or poultry. Make sure the thermometer is not touching bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.

5.Press START/ENTER.

A preheat conditioning time counts down the approximate preheat time after the oven tempera- ture has been set and START has been pressed. The heat, bake, and on indicator lights will light up. The oven control automatically sets preheating times based on the oven temperature you select:

For 245°F and less, the preheating time is 3 minutes.

6 minutes.

 

For above 450°F, the preheating time is 10 minutes.

The oven is preheated and ready to use when you hear a 1-second tone, the on indicator light goes off, the countdown is finished, and the set temperature is displayed.

The preheat and set temperatures may be different at the end of the countdown. This is normal.

NOTES:

When the oven temperature is greater than 170°F, no preheat conditioning time will be shown in the display.

You can change the temperature setting any time after pressing START/ENTER. You do not have to press START/ENTER again.

The preheat conditioning time will not change if you reset the temperature before the countdown time ends.

If you are baking/roasting while the minute timer is counting down, you can see the set baking/roasting temperature for 5 seconds by pressing BAKE.
