• We recommend the use of a meat ther-
mometer to ensure perfectly cooked
roasts and poultry every time. If using a
meat thermometer, the meat or poultry
should be removed from the roaster
oven when the thermometer reading is
5 to 10 degrees below the desired tem-
perature. The internal temperature will
continue to rise after the meat has been
removed from the roaster oven.
• The roaster oven cooks turkeys in less
time than conventional ovens. A 14- to
18-pound (6.3–8.2 kg) unstuffed turkey
will cook in approximately 2
1 ⁄
2
hours.
A turkey cooked in the roaster oven is
moist and juicy, but does not brown.
• The Roasting Chart lists cooking times
for tender cuts of meat that are usually
dry-roasted. These roasts are from the
rib or sirloin area. To tenderize cuts
from the leg (ham) or shoulder/chuck
area, cook in liquid for a longer period
of time.
• Times indicated are approximate and
should be used only as a general
guideline. Individual cuts of meat and
personal preference may dictate longer
or shorter roasting times.
• Food must be hot enough to prevent
bacterial growth. Visit foodsafety.gov
for more information.
Roasting Meats and Poultry
NOTE: Large turkeys with very tall or deep chest cavities might have difficulty
fitting under the buffet lid.
