Questions
and Answers
Q. Why wasn't my roast fully
cooked even though the tempera-
ture on the display was correct and
Auto Roast was completed.
A. The temperature probe must be
properly inserted when you Auto
Roast. Check your Cookbook to see
what you might have done wrong.
Q. Do some types of trivets work
better than others?
A. Yes. Flat glass trivets generally
provide more browning to the
bottom of meats than plastic trivets.
Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed
roasting dishes usually work well.
Plastic trivets may require meat to
be turned over more often than
glass trivets do because the grid
design and legs let the bottom of
the meat stay cooler than glass
trivets do.
Q. When I'm cooking with Auto
Roast, why doesn't my roast con-
tinue to cook during the holding
time?
A. When your food reaches finished
temperature, the oven automatically
switches to a lower power level. The
even temperature that's maintained
in the food during this holding
period keeps it warm without
overcooking.
