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

KEEPING FOOD WARM
The Keep-Warm oven can be helpful in many
KEEP-WARM OVEN CHART
ways.
If you wish to keep the food warm
immediately after baking at a higher
temperature, set the oven to the correct
temperature (see chart) and open the oven
door for 10 to 15 minutes to allow excess heat
to escape.
NOTE: If you plan to keep food warm on a
platter, be sure the oven has cooled
after baking before placing the plat-
ters in the oven.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE, DO
NOT USE PLASTIC PLATTERS, OR
SILVER TRAYS IN THE KEEP-WARM
OVEN.
To prevent moist foods such as cooked veg-
etables, mashed potatoes, gravy, yeast rolls,
biscuits, etc., from drying out, they should be
covered tightly before being placed in the oven.
Aluminum foil is ideal for this.
Meat can be carved ahead of time and then
kept warm. Sliced meats must be covered to
prevent cut surfaces from drying. If you wish
to slice rare or medium meats you can do so
if you do not allow the cut surfaces to remain
exposed to the air. Cut the slices as
described but keep the surfaces close
together.
THAWING FROZEN FOODS
The oven may be used for thawing frozen foods.
Poultry should only be thawed until the giblets
can be removed. Thaw cut-up poultry, fish or
meat cuts just enough to separate the pieces.
Ground meat should be thawed just enough to
allow you to mix and form it. Once the food is
thawed, cook it immediately. Do not refreeze
food that has been thawed.
To thaw and freshen cooked frozen baked
goods, use the Warm setting. Wrap food loosely
to prevent drying but to permit the evaporation
of ice crystals formed during freezing.
