ROASTING
Roasting 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, oven controls are set for Baking or
Timed Baking. (You may hear
a
slight clicking
sound,
indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed
Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing. -
after being removed from the oven. Standing time
recommended for roasts is
10
to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve. Internal temperature will rise
about
5° to
10“F.;
to compensate for temperature increase, if desired,
remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to
10“F.
less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).
Remember that the food will continue to cook in the
hot oven and therefore should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has been reached.

NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run
even after the oven is turned off.
To change oven temperature during roasting,
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 foil tightly around the inside of the pan.
