Roasting
Roasting is a dry heat method for cooking tender cuts of meat and
poultry. Place roasts fat side up on a rack in a shallow uncovered
pan. Use the bottom or next to bottom rack position. Set the oven
temperature for 325 °F. Basting is not necessary.
Roasting hints
1. Use a meat thermometer to judge the degree of doneness. Insert
into the thickest part of meat. The tip should not be in contact
with bone, gristle or fat. For stuffed poultry, insert into the center
of stuffing. For unstuffed turkeys, insert into the inner side of
the thigh.
2. Frozen roasts may be cooked without thawing. Allow an addi-
tional 20 minutes per pound cooking time.
3. For easier carving, allow roast or poultry to stand 20 minutes
after cooking is completed.
