Roasting
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during
roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or pout-
try can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting
temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep
spattering to a minimum.
The oven has a special
low shelf (R) position just
above the oven bottom,,
Use it when extra cooking
space is needed, for
example, when roasting a
large turkey,, The shelf is
not designed to slide out
at this position.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.
Therefore, the oven controls are set for Baking. (You
may hear a slight clicking sound indicating the oven
is working properly,)
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing
after being removed from the oven., Recommended
standing time for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This
allows the roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5° to
10°F (3° to 6°C), if you wish to compensate for the
temperature rise, remove the roast from the oven
when its internal temperature is 5° to 10°F (3 ° to 6°C)
less than the temperature shown in the Roasting
Guide,
Remember that food wild continue to cook in the hot
oven and therefore should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has been reached.
1. Position oven shelf at
(B) position for small
size roast [3 to 5
Ibs.(1 o3 to 2.3 kg)] and
at (R) position for larg-
er roasts.
2. Check the weight of the meat° Place the meat fat-
side-up or the poultry breast-side-up on roasting
grid in a shallow pan, The melting fat will baste the
meal 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. Turn the OVEN SET knob to BAKE and the OVEN
TEMP knob to the desired temperature_ See the
Roasting Guide for temperatures and approximate
cooking times.
4. When roasting is finished, turn the OVEN TEMP
knob to OFF and then remove the food from the
oven,,
Dual Shelf Cooking
This allows more than one food to be cooked at the
same time, For example: While roasting a 20-1bo(10 kg)
turkey on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so
equipped) may be added on position D so that scal-
loped potatoes can be cooked at the same time.
Calculate the total cooking time to enable both dishes
to complete cooking at the same time. Allow t5-20
minutes of additional cooking time for the potatoes°
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.
