ROAST:
• For additional browning, add 1 Tbsp. browning sauce to oil and brush over skin
before roasting.
• To sear meat: preheat covered oven at 450ºF. Add margarine to bottom of
cookwell liner, then sear meat 10 to 15 minutes per side until lightly browned.
• "Alternative" browning method for self-basting turkeys: preheat at 400°F for
20 minutes. Roast for 1 hour at 400°F. Reduce heat to 350° using time in chart,
approximately 13 - 18 minutes per pound. Prior to the last hour of roasting,
increase temperature to 400°F and remove all excess juices in bottom of
cookwell liner.
