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
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
“tent” when roasting a turkey?
A. Sealing the foil will steam the
meat. Leaving it unsealed allows the
air to circulate and brown the meat.
