procedure used for meats.
Therefore, oven controls are set for

clicking sound, indicating the oven
is working properly.) Roasting is
easy; just follow these steps:

Some commercial frozen poultry
can be cooked successfully without

on package label.
To change oven temperature

Step 1: Check weight of meat, and

Questions and Answers
Q. Why is my roast crumbling
when I try to carve it?
A. Roasts are easier to slice if
allowed to cool 10 to 20 minutes
after removing from oven. Be sure
to cut across the grain of the meat.
Step 5: Touch the CLEAR/OFF
pad when roasting is finished and
then remove food from oven.
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven
each time I cook a roast or
poultry?
Step 6: 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 10”F.; to compensate for
temperature increase, if desired,
remove the roast from oven sooner
(at 5° to 10”F. less than
A. It is unnecessary to preheat
your oven.
Q. When buying a roast, are
there any special tips that would
help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in
thickness as possible, or buy
rolled roasts.
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil
“tent” when roasting a turkey?
Step 2: Place in oven shelf in A or
B position. No preheating is
necessary.
temperature in the Roasting
Guide.)
A. Sealing the foil will steam
the meat. Leaving it unsealed
allows the air to circulate and
brown the meat.

Roasting
the Probe
See Roasting Guide.
After preparing meat and placing
it on roasting pan rack, follow these
steps for proper probe placement.
Correct Placement of the
Temperature Probe
Oven has a probe in the upper
oven only.
Poultry
Insert probe into meatiest part of
inner thigh from below and
to the leg of a whole turkey.
For many foods, especially
roasts and poultry, internal food
temperature is the best test for
doneness. The temperature probe
takes the guesswork out of roasting
by cooking foods to the exact
doneness you want. When the
internal temperature of the food
reaches the temperature you set,
the oven automatically shuts off.
Casseroles or Fish
Insert probe into center of dishes
such as meat loaf or casseroles.
When cooking fish, insert probe
from just above gill into meatiest
area, parallel to backbone.
Step 1: Lay the probe on the
outside of the meat along the top
or side and mark with your finger
where the edge of the meat comes
to on the probe. Point should rest
in the center of the thickest meaty
part of the roast.

Broiling

sure to set the correct control.
Pads on the left side of panel are

STOP TIME pads can be used

HI broil or touch DECREASE pad
for LO broil.
Questions & Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary
to always use a rack in the pan?
NOTE: Chicken and ham are
broiled at LO broil in order to cook
food without overbrowning it.
A. Yes. Using the rack suspends
the meat over the pan. As the meat
cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are
protected by the rack and stay
cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Step 7: Turn food only once
during broiling. Time foods for
first side per Broiling Guide.
Turn food, then use times given for
second side as a guide to preferred
doneness. (Where two thicknesses
and times are given together, use
first times given for thinnest food.)
Broiling is cooking food by
intense radiant heat from the upper
broil unit in the oven. You can
broil in upper or lower oven. Most
fish and tender cuts of meat can
be broiled. Follow these steps
to keep spattering and smoking
to a minimum.
Q. Should I salt the meat before
broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices
and allows them to evaporate.
Always salt after cooking. Turn
meat with tongs; piercing meat
with a fork also allows juices to
escape. When broiling poultry
or fish, brush each side often
with butter.
Step 8: When finished broiling,
touch the
pad. Serve
food immediately, and leave pan
outside oven to cool during meal
for easiest cleaning.
Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle
near edge, cut vertical slashes
through both about 2“ apart. If
desired, fat may be trimmed,
leaving layer about 1/8” thick.
Use of Aluminum Foil
Q. Why are my meats not turning
out as brown as they should?
Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack
in broiler pan. Always use rack so
fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise
uices may become hot enough to
catch fire.
A. In some areas, the power
(voltage) to the oven maybe low.
In these cases, preheat the broil
unit for 10 minutes before placing
broiler pan with food in oven.
Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil
for longest period of time indicated
in the Broiling Guide. Turn food
only once during broiling.
Step 3: Position shelf on
recommended shelf position as
suggested in Broiling Guide.
You can use aluminum foil to line
your broiler pan and broiler rack.
However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the rack and cut slits in it
just like the rack.
Q. Do I need to grease my
broiler rack to prevent meat
from sticking?
A. No. The broiler rack is designed
to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping
the surface cool enough to prevent
meat from sticking to the surface.
However, spraying the broiler rack
lightly with a vegetable cooking
spray before cooking will make
cleanup easier.
Without the slits, the foil will
prevent fat and meat juices from
draining to the broiler pan. The
juices could become hot enough to
catch on fire. If you do not cut the
slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Step 4: Leave door open to broil
stop position. The door stays open
by itself, yet the proper tempera-@
is maintained in the oven.
Step 5: Touch the BROIL pad.
NOTE: If BROIL pad does not
work, probe might be connected.
