Regular Roasting/Guide - GE JKP16 Use & Care Manual

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. (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. Place it fat side up
(or for poultry breast-side-up) on a 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 grid is a good pan
for this.)
3. Press the BAKE pad.
4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE
pad. The last oven temperature used
appears in the display. Continue
The oven will start automatically.
The word "ON" and "1000'" will be
displayed. As the oven heats up, the
display will show the changing
temperatures. When the oven reaches
the temperature you set, a tone
will sound.
Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.
This makes clean-up easier wheil using the pan fol
marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily
cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press
the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.
Most meats continue to cook slightly while
standing, after being removed from the OVen.
The standing time recommended for roasts is
10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and
makes them easier to carve. The internal temperature
will rise about 5° to IO°F.; to compensate for the
temperature rise, if desired, remove the roast from the
oven sooner (at 5° to 10°F. less than the temperature
in the Regular 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.
5. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when
roasting is finished.
CLEAR
OFF
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
To change the oven temperature during
roasting, press the BAKE pad and then the
INCREASE or DECREASE pad to get the
new temperature.
