Selecting the cooking time for your roast depends on your personal preference. Meat taken
straight from the refrigerator will take longer to cook.
Poultry should always be well cooked with the juices running clear.
Roasting is a method of cooking meat that uses dry heat. Don't add water to your roast as this
has a steaming effect.
Vegetables are excellent cooked on ROAST. Clean and cut them into large chunks, coat lightly
with oil, season and place in a single layer on the greased glass tray. Select ROAST using the
oven mode dial and 340 °F (175 °C). Place in the oven on a shelf in position eight. Cook for
35 – 45 minutes, depending on size and type of vegetable, until golden brown and tender.
Vegetables can be placed on the broiling system, around meat if they are going to take
approximately the same length of time to cook. Longer than about two hours will overcook
the vegetables so put them in the oven partway through cooking a large piece of meat. The
vegetables will brown more slowly if they have missed the initial searing stage of the ROAST
mode so allow plenty of time to cook them thoroughly, up to two hours at 320-340 °F (150-
175 °C).
Broiling
Your AeroTech® oven gives you a choice of BROIL
For many meats broiling is considered to be a healthier alternative to frying. Broiling is a
relatively quick method of cooking foods producing superior flavor and is also a great way to
cook vegetables. Carry out all broiling with the oven door completely closed.
When using AEROBROIL the upper elements are on and the hot air is circulated around the
oven by the oven fan. AEROBROIL is suitable for foods that you might normally pan fry,
barbecue or rotisserie, for larger cuts of meat and whole chickens.
Hot Surface Hazard
Hot steam may be produced when using BROIL, MAXIBROIL, or
AEROBROIL modes.
Take care when opening the oven door and always use oven mitts or pot
holders to handle hot cooking utensils.
Failure to do so could result in burns or scalds.
Using the broil modes
Place food on top of the broil/roast pan, grid and rack.
