* The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some
food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recom-
mended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC)

Stuffed turkey requires additional roasting time. Shield legs and breast with foil to prevent over browning and drying of the skin.
Figure 20: Roast with broil pan and insert and roasting
rack
Do not use the broiler pan without the insert. A roasting
rack (some models) can be used when convection
roasting. Do not cover the broil pan or insert with
aluminum foil or any other material; the exposed grease
could ignite.
