satisfaction. Most meats con
tinue to cook slightly while
standing after being removed
from the oven. This should be
taken into considsraiion when
determining your cooking time.
® Always use a roasting pan that
fits the size of your meat. A
roast placed in a pan too small
for its size will drip over the
edge.
@ You m.ay cook frozen meat
roasts without thawing. How
ever, you must allow more
cooking time for large roasts,
add 10-25 minutes per pound.
For roasts under 5 pounds, add
10 minutes per pound.
@ To slow down surface browning
on turkeys, you can use a foil
'Tend'. The tent-shaped foil
should bs laid loosely over the
poultry so the heat can circulate
under the foil.
® Most frozen poultry should be
thawed before cooking to en
sure it is done evenly. Some,
however, can be cooked suc
cessfully
without
thawing.
Check the packer's label for
specific directions.
