9. 8. TMR18W/WBF Use and Care Guide
Roasting
◆ Roasting meats in your Roaster Oven keeps them moist and
tender. For additional browning, add browning sauce to oil or
butter and brush it over the meat before cooking.
◆ For best results, roast dry. Do not add liquid until the last 30
minutes of cooking. This will produce a darker roast and darker,
crispier skin on poultry.
◆ Simmering less tender cuts of meat will make them more tender.
Adding a gravy or sauce will provide extra flavor.
◆ The use of a meat thermometer is recommended to achieve
desired degree of doneness.
Baking
◆ Always place baking pans or casseroles on the Roasting Rack With
Handles. Never place pans on the bottom of the Roasting Liner.
◆ 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.
◆ 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.
◆ 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
◆ Place the food within the frame of the Roasting Rack with
Handles. Keep food away from the sides of the Roaster.
◆ Steaming is an easy way to cook tasty, nutritious, and healthy
foods without added fats.
Slow Cooking
◆ For slow cooking, preheat oven to 400°. Cook 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.
◆ To convert a standard recipe to slow cooking, double or triple
the time and decrease the temperature to 225°– 275°.
◆ It is not necessary to cook meat and vegetables in a separate fry
pan. This can be done directly in the Roasting Liner.
◆ When slow cooking meats and poultry, it is not necessary to use
the rack. The low temperature keeps the meat from sticking to
the bottom of the Roasting Liner.
