Roasting
Roasting is cooking by dry heat.
Tender meat or poultry can be
roasted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which
should be low and steady, keep
spattering to a minimum. When
roasting, it is not necessary to
sear, baste, cover or add water
to your meat.

Standing time recommended for
roasts is 10 to 20 minutes to allow
roast to firm up and make it easier
to carve. Internal temperature will

For Frozen Roasts
●
Frozen roasts of beef, pork,
lamb, etc., can be started without
thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes
per pound additional time (10
minutes per pound for roasts under
5 pounds, more time for larger
roasts).
●
Thaw most frozen poultry before
roasting to ensure even doneness.
Some commercial frozen poultry
can be cooked successfully without
thawing. Follow directions given
on packer’s label.
Questions and Answers
Q. Is it necessary to check for
doneness with a meat
thermometer?
A.
Checking the finished internal
temperature at the completion of
cooking time is recommended.
Temperatures are shown in Roasting
Guide on opposite page. For roasts
over 8 pounds, cooked at
with reduced time, check with
thermometer at half-hour intervals
after half the time has passed.
Q. Why is my roast crumbling
when I try to carve it?
A. Roasts are easier to slice if
allowed to cool 10 to 20 minutes
after removing from oven. Be sure
to cut across the grain of the meat.
Q. Do I need to preheat my
oven each time I cook a roast
or poultry?
A. It is rarely necessary to preheat
your oven, only for very small
roasts, which cook a short length
of time.
Q. When buying a roast, are
there any special tips that would
help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in
thickness as possible, or buy rolled
roasts.
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil
when roasting a turkey?
A. Sealing the foil will steam the
meat. Leaving it unsealed allows the
air to circulate and brown the meat.
