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 tow and steady, keep
spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats..
Therefore the oven controls are set for Baking or Timed
Baking (You may hear a slight clicking sound indicating
the oven is working properly). Timed Baking will turn the
oven on and off automatically.
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,
after being removed from the oven. The standing time
recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows
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 will continue to cook in the hot oven
and therefore should be removed when the desired
internal temperature has been reached.
The oven has a special low
shelf support (R) just above
the oven bottom Use it
when extra cooking space
is needed, for example,
when roasting a large
turkey_ This shelf is not
designed to slide out at this
position.
1_ Position the oven shelf
on shelf support B for
small roasts [3 to 5
pounds (I,3 to 23 kg)]
and on shelf support 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 will baste the meat.. 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, Press the BAKE pad
4, Press the ,_ o r V pad..
Continue pressing until the
desired temperature is displayed,
When the oven starts to heat, the word "ON" and the
changing oven temperature, starting at 100°E (38°C),
will be displayed When the oven reaches the temperature
you set, a tone will sound..
5, Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when
roasting is finished and then remove
the food from the oven.,
To change the oven temperature
during roasting,
press the BAKE pad and then the A or V pad to
get the new temperature
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.
