Hints for CONVECTION BAKE (Roast)
• A meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should always be used to
ensure desired doneness.
• Roasting is recommended for large, tender cuts of meat and poultry.
• Seasoning prior to cooking adds to the flavor and the aroma during cooking.
• A layer of fat on the top of the roast promotes better browning and provides
natural basting.
• When roasting meats with a high fat content, the bake/broil pan may fill with grease
before cooking is completed. Carefully remove the bake/broil pan using oven mitts
and empty. Replace for continued roasting.
• To roast vegetables, toss uniformly sized raw vegetables in olive oil or vegetable oil, add
seasoned salt, and spread vegetables in a single layer onto the bake/broil pan, in the
middle shelf rail. Roast at high heat, 425°F - 450°F for 15 to 20 minutes, turning halfway.
Remove roasted vegetables when they are browned and cooked to your liking.
Add seasoning when they are hot from the Convection Toaster Oven.
