Cooking Chart – Upper Oven
• Allow refrigerated meats and poultry to stand at
room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before
cooking.
Meats
• Select low-profile roasts up to 3-inches thick.
• Use bottom of two-piece broil pan for roasts. For
larger roasts and meatloaf, refer to custom
combination mode on Page 34.
• Calculate the total minutes per pound and enter
total cook time.
• As the total weight increases, the cooking time per
pound decreases.
• Cook all meats uncovered on the upper rack unless
otherwise specified.
• Do not leave a meat thermometer in meat during
roasting.
• Score fat on roasts before cooking.
• Do not cook food with large amounts of liquid.

CS3 – Meat, Casseroles
• Brush lean cuts of meat and fish with vegetable or
olive oil before roasting to prevent sticking.
• Check food for doneness with meat thermometer
at minimum time.
• When a recipe has a two-step temperature/time
cooking method, such as rack of lamb, use the total
time from both steps to set cook time.
• Marinated and non-marinated meats require the
same cooking time.
• Because of the combination of thermal heat
with microwave, foods will continue to cook
and internal temperatures will rise during
standing time.
CAUTION!
When roasting, open the door carefully. There may
be an accumulation of steam, smoke and spattering of
fats due to speed of cooking.
