ROASTING
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or
poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.
Rousting temperatures, which should be low and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for
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.
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 the
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.
1. Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating
is necessary.
2. Check the weight 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.)
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.
3. Press the BAKE pad.
4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE
pad until the desired temperature is
displayed.
The oven will start automatically.
The word "ON" and "100°'' will be
displayed. As the oven heats up, the
display will show the changing
temperature. When the oven reaches the
temperature you set, a tone will sound.
5.. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when
roasting is finished and then remove
the food from the oven.
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.
Use of Aluminum Foil
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.
