AKING ROASTING
4.
When roasting, put your food in the oven.
You do not have to preheat the oven when roast-
ing, unless your recipe recommends it.
Roasting meats and poultry
•
For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a
shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the drip-
pings 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.
5.
Press START/ENTER.
A preheat conditioning time counts down the
approximate preheat time after the oven
temperature has been set and START has been
pressed. The heat, bake, and on indicator lights
will light up. The oven control automatically sets
preheating times based on the oven temperature
you select:
•
For 245°F and less, the preheating time is
3 minutes.
•
For 250°F-445°F, the preheating time is
6 minutes.
•
For 450°F and above, the preheating time is
10 minutes.
The oven is preheated and ready to use when you
hear a 1-second tone, the on indicator light goes
off, the countdown is finished, and the set temper-
ature is displayed.
The preheat and set temperatures may be
different at the end of the countdown. This
is normal.
NOTES:
•
When the oven temperature is greater than
170°F, no preheat conditioning time will be
shown in the display.
•
You can change the temperature setting any time
after pressing START/ENTER. You do not have to
press START/ENTER again.
•
The preheat conditioning time will not change if
you reset the temperature before the countdown
time ends.
•
If you are baking/roasting while the minute timer
is counting down, you can see the set
baking/roasting temperature for 5 seconds
by pressing BAKE.
