Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Therefore the oven controls are set for Baking.Roasting temperatures, which should be low and (You may hear a slight clicking sound indicating thesteady, keep spattering to a minimum. oven is working properly.)The oven has a speciallow shelf (R) positionjust above the ovenbottom. Use it whenextra cooking space isneeded, for example,when roasting a largeturkey. The shelf is notdesigned to slide out atthis position.Most meats continue to cook slightly while standingafter being removed from the oven. Recommendedstanding time for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. Thisallows roasts to firm up and makes them easier tocarve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F.If you wish to compensate for temperature rise,remove the roast from the oven when its internaltemperature is 5° to 10°F. less than temperatureshown in the Roasting Guide.Remember that food will continue to cook in the hotoven and therefore should be removed when thedesired internal temperature has been reached.1.

Place the meat --fat-side-up or the poultry breast-side-upon theroasting rack in a shallow pan. The melting fat willbaste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size ofmeat as possible. (Broiler pan with rack is a goodpan for this.)3. If your model has a separate BAKE/BROIL switch,turn it to BAKE. Turn the OVEN CONTROL knobto the desired temperature. See the Roasting Guidefor temperatures and approximate cooking times.: 4. When roasting is finished, turn the OVENCONTROL knob to OFF and then remove the foodfrom the oven.Dual Shelf CookingThis allows more than one food to be cooked at the same time. For example:While roasting a 20-lb. turkey on shelf position R, a second shelf (if soequipped) may be added on position D so that scalloped potatoes can becooked at the same time. Calculate the total cooking time to enable bothdishes to complete cooking at the same time. Allow 15-20 minutes ofadditional cooking time for the potatoes.Use of Aluminum FoilYou can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.This makes clean-up easier when using the pan formarinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavilycured meats or basting food during cooking. Pressthe foil tightly around the inside of the pan.(c[~ntinued next page)17
