ROAST
• The approximate maximum capacity for roasting is a 4–5 lb. chicken or a
3–4 lb. roast.
• If you desire the deeper flavor of browned meat use the Sear/Sauté
function before roasting.
• Tougher cuts of meat can be tenderized by simmering them. Adding
sauce or gravy can also add a bolder flavor.
• Always roast with lid on. Open the lid as little as possible to ensure even
cooking and to keep heat from escaping.
• Foil roasting bags can be used, but plastic roasting bags are not
recommended.
• Using a meat thermometer can help significantly improve results; you will
want to remove the meat or poultry from the roaster when the reading is
5 to 10 degrees (Fahrenheit) below the desired temperature. The internal
temperature will continue to rise as the meat is resting after it has been
removed.
• Multicookers often cook turkeys and chickens in less time than a
conventional oven. When first converting recipes from a conventional
oven, closely monitor the internal temperature.
BAKE
• For many baked goods, this appliance can be used in place of a normal oven.
• Use the roasting rack in the base of the appliance when baking to ensure
more even cooking. Place baking dishes directly on the rack.
