• Allow approximately 1/2 the calculated cooking time.
• Use this mode for meats over 4.5 lbs.
• Allow refrigerated meats and poultry to be at room
temp for 15-20 minutes before roasting. Prepare
meats at this time.
• Cook all large meat items on Rack 1, 2 or 3, depending
on height.
• Use bottom broiler pan of 2-piece broiler set.
• For lamb, whole chicken or turkey, use V-rack in
bottom broiler pan.
• Preheat before placing food in oven.
• Do not leave a meat thermometer in meat during
roasting.
• Check food at minimum roasting time for doneness.
• After cooking, allow meat to stand covered with foil
for 15-20 minutes before carving/serving.
• Food will continue to cook during recommended
standing time, and temperatures will even out and
will rise approximately 10-15 degrees during this time.

Tips for roasting a turkey:
• Remove wire leg clamp from turkey before roasting.
• To prepare turkey for roasting, tuck wings behind
back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.
• Cover top of breast and ends of legs with wide strips
of foil. After half of the cooking time has expired,
remove foil on breast area.
• Cook only unstuffed turkeys in this mode.
