A WORD ABOUT CARRY-OVER COOKING

After foods are pulled out of the oven, it will continue to cook. Carry-over cooking affects all foods- the larger the item, the

longer the carry-over time. It is best to let the foods rest after it comes out of the oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

This will allow meat to retain its juices and baked goods continue to set.
