Rare; Medium; Well Done - Amana ARR629 Use & Care Manual

CONVENTIONAL ROASTING
For best results, a shallow pan close to the size of the meat is recommended. The broiler
pan can be used if necessary.
Place the meat on a rack or grid with the fatty side up. Do not cover or add water.
Place the pan on the oven rack with the center of the meat in the center of the oven.
Set the Oven Control to the desired temperature. Refer to the Roast Guide in this section.
USEFUL INFORMATION
When roasting frozen meats, allow 1/3 to 1/2 more cooking time than for roasts already
thawed.
After cooking is complete, allow the roast to stand 15 to 20 minutes before carving.
Rare or medium rare meats can be removed slightly before they are ready; they will continue
to cook while the roast is standing to be carved.
Meats and poultry prepared in the dry "roasted" method should not be covered; nor should
water be added prior to roasting.
