Roasting

Always observe USDA/CFIA food
safety guidelines.
Tips for roasting
- You can use all dishware made from
temperature-resistant materials, e.g.,
roasting dishes, roasting pans with lid,
ovenproof glass dishes, roasting bags,
dishes made from earthenware or
cast iron, the universal tray, wire rack,
and/or anti-splash insert (if available)
on top of the universal tray.
- Preheating the oven is only required
when preparing roast beef and fillets.
Preheating is generally not necessary.
- Use a closed cooking container for
roasting meat, such as a roasting dish.
The meat will stay succulent. The
oven compartment will also stay
cleaner than when roasting on the
wire rack. It ensures that enough
stock remains for making gravy.
- If you are using a roasting bag, follow
the instructions on the packaging.
- If you are using the wire rack or an
open cooking container for roasting,
you can add a little fat or oil to very
lean meat or place a few strips of
bacon on the top.
- Season the meat and place in the
cooking container. Dot with butter or
brush with oil or cooking fat. For large
lean cuts of meat (4–6lb/2–3kg)
and fatty poultry, add about 1/2cup
(1/8liter) of water to the dish.
- Do not add too much liquid during
cooking as this will hinder the
browning process. Browning only
occurs towards the end of the
cooking duration. Remove the lid
about halfway through the cooking
duration if you want a more intensive
browning result.
- At the end of the program, take the
food out of the oven, cover it, and
leave to stand for about 10minutes.
This helps retain the juices when the
meat is sliced.
- For a crisp finish, baste poultry
10minutes before the end of the
cooking duration with slightly salted
water.
Selecting the temperature
As a general rule, select the
temperature given in the
corresponding recipe.
For large pieces of meat, do not
choose a temperature that is too high.
The roasting process will take longer,
but the meat will cook through evenly
and the skin or crackling will not be
too thick.
When cooking with Convection
Roast, Moisture Plus or Auto
Roast, select a temperature which
is approx. 50°F (20°C) lower than
with Surround.
When roasting on the wire rack, set a
temperature approx. 25°F (10°C)
lower than for roasting in a covered
cooking container.
Selecting the cooking duration
Check whether the food is cooked
shortly before the end of the specified
cooking duration.
