Roasting
Do not lock the oven door with
the latch during
roasting.
The latch is used for self-cleaning
only.
Roasting
is cooking
by dry heat.. Tender meat or poul-
try 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
wilt 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); to compensate
for the temperature
rise, if desired,
remove the roast from oven sooner
[at
5 ° to 10°F (3 ° to 6°C) less than the temperature
in the
Roasting
Guide].
Remember
that food wit1 continue
to cook in the hot
oven
and therefore
should
be removed
when
the
desired
internal
temperature
has been reached.
