poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which should be low and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is really a bakin& procedure used f(~r
meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or
Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound,
indicating the oven is working properly. ) Timed
Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.
1. Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating
is necessary.
2. Check the wei&ht of the
meat. Place the meat
fat-side-up, or poultry
breast-side-up, on
roasting rack in a
shallow pan. The
melting fat will baste
the meat. Select a pan
as close to the size' of the meat as possible.
(The broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this.)

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.
This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for
marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily
cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press
the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,
after being removed from the oven. Standing time
recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F.;
to compensate for temperature rise, if desired, remove
the roast from oven sooner (at 5° to 10"F. less than
temperature in the Roasting Guide).
Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot
oven and therefore should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has been reached.
roasting is finished and ~hen
remove the food from the oven.
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run after the oven is turned off.
To change the oven temperature during the
roasting cycle, press the BAKE pad and then
the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to get the
new temperature.
