Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or
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 baking procedure used for
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 weight of
the meat. Plac~ it, fat
side up, (or for
poultry breast-side-
up) on a trivet 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. )

BAKE
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.

ROASTING
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 increase, if desired,
remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to 10"F.
less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).
Remember that the food will continue to cook in the
hot oven and therefore should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has been reached.
