    Cookies When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies.

  • Page 19 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 meats. Therefore, the oven controls are set for Baking or Timed Baking.
  • Page 20: Roasting With The Probe

    ROASTING WITH THE PROBE Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe A temperature probe has been provided for use in your new oven. This probe is designed to withstand high temperatures.

  • Page 22 Questions and Answers Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer? A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended if you did not use the probe while cooking. Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed.
  • Page 23: Broiling

    Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper broil element in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart.
  • Page 24: Broiling Guide

    • Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan. • The oven door should be open to the broil stop position.
