BAKING
•
Always place baking pans or casseroles on one of the roasting racks.
Never place pans on the bottom of the ROASTING PAN.
•
If space allows, baked goods such as pies, cakes, cookies, and
casseroles should be placed on the flat rack.
•
Use the large capacity of the Roaster Oven efficiently. It is large enough
to bake two loaves of bread, or to cook meat and a vegetable at the
same time.
•
The ROASTING PAN will easily accommodate three 1 1 ⁄
2
-quart
casserole dishes. This is ideal for preparing a complete meal such as
meat, potatoes, and a vegetable at the same time.
•
For easy clean-up, place foods that may boil over (such as fruit pies and
casseroles) on a cookie sheet before positioning on the rack.
•
Convenience foods can be baked in the Roaster Oven. Place container
on the ROASTING RACK WITH HANDLES or the FLAT RACK. Follow
package directions.
•
The Roaster Oven accommodates the following size baking pans:
1 - 12-cup muffin pan
1 - 6-cup jumbo muffin pan
2 - 12-cup mini muffin pan
1 - 8-, 9-, or 10-inch pie plate
1 - 14” x 8”x 1 ⁄
2
” baking sheet
1 - 13” x 9” x 2” baking dish
1 - 8- or 9-inch square baking pan
1 - 10-inch bundt pan or angel food pan
•
Metal pans reflect and transfer heat better than glass pans. Glass pans
can be used if desired, but the bottom crust will not be as brown.
STEAMING
•
Steaming is an easy way to cook tasty, nutritious, and healthy foods
without added fats.
SLOW COOKING
•
For slow cooking, preheat oven to 450°. Brown meat and vegetables,
add liquid, and lower the temperature to 250°.
•
Slow cooking is done at a low temperature. Always keep food covered.
Stirring is not necessary.
•
Cut meat and vegetables into uniform-size pieces for even cooking.
•
Add liquid sparingly, as little moisture escapes from the Roaster Oven
during cooking.
•
To convert a standard recipe to slow cooking, double the time and
decrease the oven temperature to 250°.
•
It is not necessary to brown meat and vegetables in a separate fry pan.
This can be done directly in the ROASTING PAN. Use the instructions in
the recipe section entitled Food For a Crowd as your guide to browning
in the ROASTING PAN.
