Directions for Cooking MEats by Combination
Season roast as desired, but add salt after cooking.
Salt can be used for cooking Pork.
Beef, Pork and Lamb Roasts: Place fat-side down
on the low rack with a dish underneath to catch
drips. Place pork rib roasts, rib tips down on the low
rack. Shield thin ends, cut edges and bony areas to
prevent overcooking. To shield, place a thin strip of
foil over top cut edges of roast. Cover tapered
thinner section of roast with a small square of foil.
(Foil should not touch side of the oven, as arcing
may occur.) Remove foil halfway through cooking
time. Always turn meats over halfway through
cooking.
Canned Ham (1.5 kg to 2.5 kg): Place on the low
rack. Shield top cut edge with a 4 cm wide strip of
foil. Fold foil over top cut edge and down the sides.
(Foil should not touch oven sides, as arcing may
occur.)
Pot Roast (1.2 kg to 1.75 kg): Place meat,
vegetables and seasonings in large oven proof
casserole dish. Cover with a lid. If desired, the pot
roast may be cooked in an oven cooking bag.
Prepare the oven cooking bag according to package
directions. Do not use wire or metal twist-ties. Use
the nylon ties provided, or use a piece of cotton
string or a strip cut from the oven bag. Place bag in
oven proof casserole dish. Place dish on ceramic
turntable. Cook on Combination 1.

To Cook by Manual Combination:
Multiply the weight of the meat by the minimum
recommended minutes per 500 grams. Cook meat
on Combination 5 for beef roasts and pork roast
and Combination 4 for lamb roasts using the times
in the following chart.
To Cook by One Touch Cooking:
Programme the desired Automatic Combination
setting
or
roast to stand covered, for 10 to 15 minutes to allow
the roast to sit and finish cooking.
Roasts are easier to carve after standing.
As with Microwave cooking, roasts cooked by
Combination will continue to cook during the stand
time. During stand time check the internal
temperature of the roast using a Microwave or
conventional thermometer. The thermometer should
not touch bone or fat. If it does, the reading could
be inaccurate. If the temperatures are lower than
desired, return the roast to the oven and cook a few
more minutes at the recommended Combination
Setting.
DO NOT USE A MICROWAVE OR
CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE
OVEN WHEN COOKING BY COMBINATION.
Stand 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
