For Frozen Roasts
●
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb,
etc., can be started without
thawing, but
10 to 25
minutes per pound additional time
(10 minutes per pound for roasts
under 5 pounds, more time for
larger roasts).

Some commercial frozen poultry
can be cooked successfully without
thawing. Follow directions given

Questions and Answers
Q. Is it necessary to check for
doneness with a meat
thermometer?
A. Checking the finished internal
temperature at the completion of
cooking time is recommended.
Temperatures are shown in the
Roasting Guide section. For roasts
over cooked with
reduced time, check with
thermometer at half-hour
intervals after half the cooking
time has passed.
Q. Why is my roast crumbling
when try to carve it?
A. Roasts are easier to slice if
allowed to cool 10 to 20 minutes
after removing from oven. Be sure
to cut across the grain of the meat.
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven
each time I cook a roast or
poultry?
A. is rarely necessary to preheat
your oven. Preheat only for very
small roasts, which cook a short
length of time.
Q. When buying a roast, are
there any special tips that
help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in
thickness as possible, or buy
rolled roasts.
Q. Can seal the sides of my foil
“tent” when roasting a turkey?
A. Sealing the foil will steam the
meat. Leaving it unsealed allows the
air to circulate and brown the meat.
