Conventional/Convection Roasting Tips

Always use the broiler pan and grid supplied with each oven. The hot air
must  be  allowed  to  circulate  around  the  item  being  roasted.  Do  not
cover what is being roasted. Convection roasting seals in juices quickly
for  a  moist,  tender  product.  Poultry  will  have  a  light,  crispy  skin,  and
meats  will  be  browned,  not  dry  or  burned.  Cook  meats  and  poultry
directly  from  the  refrigerator.  There  is  no  need  for  meat  or  poultry  to
stand at room temperature.

•Always roast meats fat side up.  No basting is required when the fat

side is up.  Do not add water to the pan, as this will cause a steamed
effect.  Roasting is a dry-heat process.

•Poultry should be placed breast side up on the grid in the broiler pan.

Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during
roasting.

•For convection roasting, do not use pans with tall sides, as this will

interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.

•If using a cooking bag, foil tent, or other cover, use conventional

baking rather than convection.

•When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the

center of the thickest portion of the meat.  (For poultry, insert the
thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part
of the inner thigh.)  The tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat,
or gristle to ensure an accurate reading.  Check the meat
thermometer 2/3 of the way through the recommended roasting time.
After reading the thermometer once, insert it 1/2” (1.3 cm) further into
the meat, then take a second reading.  If the second reading registers
below the first, continue cooking the meat.

•Roasting times always vary according to the size, shape, and quality of

meats and poultry.  Less tender cuts of meat are best prepared in the
conventional bake setting and may require moist cooking techniques.
Remove roasted meats from the oven when the thermometer registers
5°F to 10°F (-15°C to -12°C) lower than the desired doneness.  The
meat will continue to cook after removal from the oven.  Allow roasts
to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting in order to make carving
easier.

Solving Baking Problems

Baking  problems  can  occur  for  many  reasons.  Check  the  chart  for  the
causes and remedies for the most common problems.  It is important to
remember  that  the  temperature  setting  and  cooking  times  you  are
accustomed  to  using  with  your  previous  oven  may  vary  slightly  from
those required with this oven.  If you find this to be true, it is necessary
for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times accordingly.
