USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC
Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide
are only approximate, because the size
andageofthebirdwillinuencecooking
times as will the shape of a joint and the
proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed
before cooking. For large joints it is advis-
able to thaw over night.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time required
depends on the size of the bird - eg; a
large turkey may take up to 48 hours to
thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to
help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or
other vegetables can be roasted around
the meat/poultry.
Notes:
• When cooking stuffed meat or poultry
calculate the cooking time from the
total weight of the meat plus the
stufng.
• For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles,
add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the
calculated cooking time.
• Smaller joints weighing less than
1.25kg (2½lb) may require 5 minutes
per 450g (1lb) extra cooking time.
• Position the oven shelf so that the
meat or poultry is in the centre of the
oven.
• It is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.
