Your Galaxy oven is equipped to handle a variety of roasts.
Tips for successful roasting
When cooking large cuts of meat, times and temperatures are based on 30 minutes per
500 g/1 lb. Times and temperatures given below are guidelines and small adjustments may be
necessary.
Roasting times will be affected by the shape, size and temperature of the meat being roasted.
Meat with a bone will cook more quickly than a boneless roast.
Do not add water to your roast, as this steams the meat.
For perfect results, use a meat probe or a meat thermometer.
Let all roast meats and poultry stand for 10-15 minutes at the end of cooking before carving.
This allows the meat fibres to relax. Fewer juices will be lost when it is cut and the meat will be
juicier and more tender. To keep the meat warm, cover with foil.
The meat will continue to cook during standing, so allow for this in your calculations (this is
particularly important if you want a rare or medium rare roast).
