Determining whether Meat is Done:
It is recommended that you use a meat thermometer to determine doneness
when cooking meat and poultry. Insert the thermometer into the center of the
thickest portion of the meat. Cook until temperature for desired doneness is
reached. The FDA recommends when roasting, meats should reach 145º to
prevent food borne illness.
CAUTION:
Never cook without pan in place.
*Rare pork, ham or poultry is not recommended.
Cooking Guide

Preparing Your Roaster Oven for Use
• Always use the Cooking Pan in the
Roaster Oven when cooking.
• Note: Never place food or liquid
directly into the Roaster Oven Body.
• Caution should be used when
removing the Lid so that the steam
escapes away from you.
• Avoid the Steam Vents when
removing or lifting the Lid.
• Significant amounts of heat escape
whenever the Lid is removed;
therefore the cooking time must be
extended. Avoid frequent removal of
the Lid for checking cooking
progress or stirring.
• The Roaster Oven roasts and bakes
at approximately the same
temperatures and in the same time
as a standard oven.
• Convenience foods can be baked in
the Roaster Oven. Place container
on Roasting Rack. Follow package
directions.
• Meats roasted in your Roaster Oven
will be moist and tender. For
additional browning, brush oil or
butter over the meat before cooking.
• To create a darker roasted, crispier
skin on poultry, do not add liquids
(with the exception of the basting
butter or oil) until there are only 30
minutes left of cooking.
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wash the Cooking Pan, Roasting
Rack and Lid in hot, soapy water
using a sponge or wash cloth. Rinse
thoroughly.
3. The outside of the Roaster Oven
body may be cleaned with a soft
cloth and warm soapy water. Wipe
dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Do not immerse the Roaster Oven
Body in water.
NOTE: Due to manufacturing process,
some smoke and odor may be noticed
during the first use. This should
disappear after the first heating of the
Roaster Oven.
