Roasting
Do not lock the oven
door with the latch during
roasting.
The latch is used for self-cleaning
only.
Roasting
is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poul-
try can be roasted
uncovered
in your oven_ Roasting
temperatures,
which should
be low and steady, keep
spattering
to a minimum°
The oven
has a special
low shelf support
(R) just
above
the oven
bottom°
Use it when extra cooking
space
is
needed,
for
example,
when roasting
a
large turkey. This shelf is
not designed
to slide
out
at this position.
Roasting
is easy, just follow these steps:
1. Position
the oven shelf
on shelf support
(B) for
small
roasts
(3 to
5
pounds)
and on shelf
support
(R)
for
larger
roasts°
2. Check the weight of the
meat.
Place
the
meat
fat-side-up
or the poultry
breast-side-up
on roast-
ing rack in a shallow
pan,. The melting fat will baste
the meat. Select
a pan as close to the side of the
meat as possible°
(The broiler
pan with rack is a
good
pan for this.)
Line the broiler
pan with alu-
minum foil when using the pan for marinating,
cook-
ing with fruits, cooking
heavily cured meats, or bast-
ing the food
during
cooking..
Avoid
spilling
these
materials
inside the oven or inside the oven door.

continue
to cook slightly
while stand-
ing, after being

time recommended
for roasts
is 10 to 20 minutes,

them easi-
er to carver Internal temperature

10°1::.; to
compensate

temperature
rise,
if

Guide)_
