for this.) Line the broiler pan with aluminum foil

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 oven sooner (at 5° to

NOTE:
●
You may wish to use Timed Baking, as described in
the Baking section of this book, to turn the oven on
and off automatically.
●
Remember that food will continue to cook in the
hot oven and therefore should be removed when
the desired internal temperature has been reached.
●
A fan may automatically turn on to cool internal
parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to
run even after the oven is turned off.
To change the oven temperature during roasting,
press the BAKE pad and then the INCREASE or
DECREASE pad to get the new temperature.
