Roasting tips
• Spatter can be reduced by lining the bot-
tom of the roasting pan with lightly crushed
aluminum foil.
• Use an accurate meat thermometer to
determine when meat has reached desired
degree of doneness. Insert the thermome-
ter 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
thermometer should not touch fat, bone, or
gristle.
• After reading the thermometer once, push
it further into the meat
read again. If the temperature drops, return
the meat to the oven for more cooking.
• Check pork and poultry with a thermom-
eter in 2 to 3 places to ensure adequate
doneness.
• Poultry and roasts will be easier to
carve if loosely covered with foil and
allowed to stand 10 to 15 minutes after re-
moval from the oven.
Positioning racks and
pans
Place the oven racks where you need them
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
the oven is hot.
• For best performance, cook on one rack.
