A WORD ABOUT CARR
Y-OVER COOKING
After foods are pulled out of the oven, they will continue to cook. Carry-over cooking affects all foods; the larger the item, the longer
the carry-over time. It is best to let the food rest for 10 to 15 minutes after it comes out of the oven. This will allow meat to retain its
juices and baked goods to continue to set, making it easier to cut and cook to a safe temperature to serve.
