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.
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 the roasts to firm up and makes them easier to
carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5° to
10”F. during the standing time. To compensate for the
temperature rise, if desired, remove the roast from
oven sooner (at 5° to 10”F. less than the temperature
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.
1. Place the shelf in A
or B position. No
preheating is necessary. _
2. Check the weight of
the meat, and place,
fat-side-up, or poultry
breast-side-up, on the
roasting rack in a
shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat.
Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as
(The broiler pan with rack is a good pan
‘or this.)

4. Press the INCREASE or
DECREASE pad until the desired
temperature is displayed.
The oven will start automatically. The word “ON”
and “100°” will be displayed. As the oven heats up,
the display will show the changing temperatures.
When the oven reaches the set temperature a tone
will sound.

5. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when
CLEAR
baking is finished and then remove
the food from the oven.
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
‘-To change the oven temperature during roasting,
press the BAKE pad and then the INCREASE or
DECREASE 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.
