poultry, place the roasting rack into
the removable roasting pan.
2. Place the meat or poultry on the
rack. Place the lid on the base.
3. Plug cord into electrical outlet. Set
the temperature control to desired
setting. Adjust roasting time according
to the condition of the meat or poultry:
• If meat or poultry is refrigerator
cold,
increase
cooking time by
about
30 minutes
.
• If meat or poultry is frozen,
increase
cooking time
15 to 20 minutes
per
pound.
• To sear meat before roasting, switch
on the top browner for the first 20 to
30 minutes of the cooking cycle.
Time may vary depending on food
size and personal taste.
• For browning poultry, switch on the
“Top Browner” function for the last

internal temperature will continue to
rise for a short time after the meat
has been removed from the unit.
