Roasting Tips
Always use the broiler pan and grid supplied with each oven. The hot air
must be allowed to circulate around the item being roasted. Do not
cover what is being roasted. Poultry will have a light, crispy skin, and
meats will be browned, not dry or burned. Cook meats and poultry
directly from the refrigerator. There is no need for meat or poultry to
stand at room temperature.
•Always roast meats fat side up. No basting is required when the fat side
is up. Do not add water to the pan, as this will cause a steamed effect.
Roasting is a dry-heat process.
•Poultry should be placed breast side up on the grid in the broiler pan.
Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during
roasting.
•When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the
center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry, insert the
thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part of
the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat, or
gristle to ensure an accurate reading. Check the meat thermometer 2/3
of the way through the recommended roasting time. After reading the
thermometer once, insert it 1/2” (1.3 cm) further into the meat, then
take a second reading. If the second reading registers below the first,
continue cooking the meat.
•Roasting times always vary according to the size, shape, and quality of
meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best prepared in the
conventional bake setting and may require moist cooking techniques.
Remove roasted meats from the oven when the thermometer registers
5°F to 10°F (-15°C to -12 °C) lower than the desired doneness. The meat
will continue to cook after removal from the oven. Allow roasts to stand
15 to 20 minutes after roasting in order to make carving easier.
