How to Roast Your Lower Oven
See Roasting Guide.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat.
It’s really a baking procedure
used for meats. That’s why you
use the Bake controls for roasting.
Roasting temperatures, which
should
and steady, keep
spattering to a minimum. When
roasting, it’s not necessary to
sear, baste, cover or add water
to your meat. Tender meat or
poultry can be roasted uncovered.
Check the weight of the meat and
place it fat-side-upon the rack in
the broiler pan that came with
your range. This helps the meat
to baste itself.
Always use a roasting pan that
fits the size of your meat. A roast
placed in a pan too small for its
size will drip over the edge.
Most meats continue to cook
slightly while standing in the
oven or after being removed
from it. Take this into
consideration when determining
your cooking time.
To cook frozen meat roasts
without thawing, allow more
cooking time. For large roasts,
10 to 25 minutes per pound.
For roasts under 5 pounds, add
10 minutes per pound.
To slow down surface browning
on turkeys, you can use a foil
“tent.” The tent-shaped foil
should be laid loosely over the
poultry so the heat can circulate
under the foil.
Most frozen poultry should be
thawed before cooking to make
sure it’s done evenly. Some,
however, can be cooked
successfully without thawing.
Check the package label for
specific directions.
