BAKING/ROASTING (CONT.)
Roasting meats and poultry
•
For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a
shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the
drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.
•
Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate
doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of the
largest muscle or thickest portion of the meat or
poultry. Make sure the thermometer is not touching
bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.
Saving energy
•
To avoid loss of heat, open the oven door as little
as possible.
•
Use a timer to keep track of cooking time.
•
Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the
oven by cooking more than one food at a time, or
baking while the oven is still hot after cooking a
meal.
