Do not use ROASTING RACK to prepare soups and stews.
9. For two-level cooking, place food on the ROASTING RACK WITH
HANDLES. Place the FLAT RACK over handles of the ROASTING RACK
WITH HANDLES (Fig. 1) and place the additional food on the FLAT RACK.
Two-level cooking is not recommended for baked goods. If space allows,
baked goods such as pies, cakes, cookies, and casseroles should be
placed on the FLAT RACK.
10. Cook according to recipe instructions.
11. When food is done, turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL to OFF and
unplug the cord from the outlet.
12. Carefully remove the food and allow the Roaster Oven to cool before
cleaning.
CAUTION: The ROASTER OVEN BODY, PAN, COVER, and RACKS will be
hot. Always lift the cover away from you to avoid steam and use pot
holders or oven mitts to remove food from the Roaster Oven.
TIPS FOR COOKING IN THE ROASTER OVEN
NOTE: Roaster Oven should always be preheated before using.
As a rule of thumb, the Toastmaster Roaster Oven roasts and bakes at
approximately the same temperature and time as a conventional oven. A
guide has been provided to assist you with roasting times. If there is nothing
similar, use the times and temperatures given in your recipe. Check 5 to
10 minutes before estimated finishing time to ensure desired results.
ROASTING
Roasting meats in your Roaster Oven keeps them moist and tender. For
additional browning, add browning sauce to oil or butter and brush it
over the meat before cooking.
For best results, roast dry. Do not add liquid until the last 30 minutes of
cooking. This will produce a darker roast and darker, crispier skin on
poultry.
Simmering less tender cuts of meat will make them more tender. Adding
a gravy or sauce will provide extra flavor.
To sear meat, preheat the roaster oven to 450°. Add oil or butter. Cover
and sear meat for 5 to 10 minutes per side until lightly browned.
The use of a meat thermometer is recommended to achieve desired
degree of doneness.
