SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Convection Roasting tips:
• Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
• Arrange oven racks so meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.
• Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommend-
ed time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired done-
ness is obtained.
• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.
• When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps
prevent grease splatters.

* The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to
only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen
Guide) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well
done 170°F (77ºC)** Stuffed turkey requires additional roasting time. Shield legs and breast with foil to prevent
over browning and drying of the skin.
