Roasting
If your model has a latch, do not lock the oven
door during roasting. The latch is used for
self-cleaning only.
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°
The oven has a special
low shelf position (R) 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 wil! 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 will continue to cook in the hot oven,
even after it has been turned off, and should be removed
when the desired internal temperature has been reached_
1. Position oven shelf at
position B for small
size roast (3 to 5 Ibs.1
[1.3 to 23 kg]) and at
position R for larger
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 wilt 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 TEMP knob to the desired temperature
(you may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the
oven is working properly). 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
timer For example: While roasting a 20-1b. (10 kg) turkey
on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped) may
be added on position D so that an additional food such as
scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time.
Foods cooked with the turkey should be added toward
the end of the time allowed for the turkey_ For example,
potatoes which cook for I hour should be added to the
oven 1 hour before the end of cooking time for the turkey.
Use of Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil.
This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor
baking° Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a
spilloven To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a
lower shelf several inches below the foo&
Frozen Roasts
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc, can be started
without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes per pound
(450 grams) additional time (15 minutes per pound
for roasts under 5 pounds [243 kg], more time for
larger roasts)..
Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting_ Unthawed
poultry often does not cook evenly. Some commercial
frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without
thawing_ Follow the directions given on the package label
