• Spatter can be reduced by lining the bot-
tom of the roasting pan with lightly crushed
aluminum foil.
• Use an accurate meat thermometer or
temperature probe (see the "Using the
temperature probe" section) to determine
when meat has reached desired degree of
doneness. Insert the thermometer or probe
into the center of the thickest portion of the
meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. For
an accurate reading, the tip of the ther-
mometer or probe should not touch fat,
bone, or gristle.
• After reading the thermometer once,
push it further into the meat
(1.7 cm) or more and read again. If the
temperature drops, return the meat to the
oven for more cooking.

See convection roasting chart in your
convection oven cookbook for recom-

broiler pan and grid (all included with your
oven). (The convection roasting rack rests

before turning on the oven.
• To move a rack, pull it out to the stop
position, raise the front edge and lift it out.
• Be sure the rack(s) is level.
• Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect
your hands if rack(s) must be moved while
