Hints For Roast
◆ A meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should
always be used to ensure desired doneness.
◆ Roasting is recommended for large, tender cuts of meat and
poultry. Seasoning prior to cooking adds to the flavor and the
aroma during cooking.
◆ A layer of fat on the top of the roast promotes better browning and
provides natural basting.
◆ When roasting meats with a high fat content, the Bake/Broil Pan
may fill with grease before cooking is completed. Carefully remove
the Bake/Broil Pan using oven mitts and empty. Replace for
continued roasting.
