COOKING GUIDE
Determining Meat Doneness
It is recommended that you use a meat thermometer to
determine doneness when cooking meat and poultry. Insert the
thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat.
Cook until temperature for desired doneness is reached.

Roasting Meats And Poultry
Meats will cook more rapidly in the Roaster Oven than
a conventional oven. Reducing temperature and increasing
time will result in a browner, crispier crust. Times indicated
below are approximate and should be used as a guideline only.
