ROASTING MEATS AND POULTRY
Meats will cook more rapidly than in a conventional oven. Reducing
temperature and increasing cooking time will result in a browner, crispier
crust. Times indicated below are approximate and should be used as a
guideline only.
COOKING GUIDE
DETERMINING MEAT DONENESS
It is recommended that you use a meat thermometer to determine
doneness when cooking meat and poultry. Insert the thermometer into the
center of the thickest portion of the meat. Cook until temperature for
desired doneness is reached.
