REGULAR ROASTING
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.
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.
Therefore, 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.
Standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20
minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes
them easier to carve. Internal temperature will rise
about 5° to
to compensate for temperature
increase, if
remove the roast from the oven
sooner (at 5° to
less than the temperature in the
Regular 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 13 position. No preheating

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 temperature you set. a tone
will sound.
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.
