ROASTING
~oasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or
poultry
can
be
roasted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which should be
low
and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is
really
a
baking
procedure used
for
meats.
Therefore, the oven controls are set for Baking or
Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound,
indicatin&
the oven is working properly. ) Timed
Baking
will turn the oven on and off automatically.
Most meats continue to cook
sli&htly
while standing,
after being removed from the oven.
The
standing time
recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve.
The internal temperature will rise about 5° to
IO°F.;
to compensate for temperature rise, if desired,
remove the roast from the oven sooner (at
5“
to
10“F.
less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).
Remember that food
will
continue to cook in the hot
oven
and
therefore should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has been reached.
1. Place
the
shelf
in A or B position.
No preheating is necessary.
2. Check the weight
of the
meat.
Place it
fat-side-
up (or for poultry
breast-side-up) on
roasting rack in a
shallow pan. The
melting fat will baste
the meat. Select a pan
as close to the size of the meat as possible.
(The broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this.)

desired temperature is
Q
displayed.
The oven will start automatically. The word “ON”
~md
“ 100°” will be displayed. As the oven heats up,

When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a

5. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when
CLEAR
roasting
is
finished and then remove
OFF
the food from the oven.
NOT1;:
A fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run after the oven is turned off.
To change the oven temperature during the
roasting cycle,
press the BAKE pad and then
the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to
get
the
new temperature.
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to
line
the broiler
pan.
This makes clean-up easier when using the pan
for
marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily
cured meats or basting
food
during
cooking. Press
the
fc~il
tightly around the inside of the pan.
