Roasting Meats and Poultry
Note: Use this method when a preheated oven is not required.
We recommend the use of a meat thermometer when cooking meats or poultry. Insert the
meat thermometer into the thickest portion of the meat or poultry.
To avoid over cooking, cook until the meat or poultry is within 5
° F of desired
temperature. Remove the meat from the Smoker / Roaster Oven. The internal
temperature will continue to rise for a short time after the meat has been removed
from the unit.
6 . Allow base to cool before cleaning .
Caution: Base will be HOT. Allow to cool before moving. If moving while hot, use oven
mitts or hot pads. Your hands could strike the base sides even when lifting with handles.

ROASTING GUIDE
Roasting Chart
Tender cuts of meat are best suited for roasting. The roasting guide below is for use
with tender cuts such as from the rib or sirloin area . Less tender cuts of meat should
be cooked in liquid for longer periods of time to tenderize. Slow cook 1 1/2 hours for
every 30 minutes of standard cook time at 250° F. Avoid raising the Cover as this
releases heat during the cooking cycle.
Times listed below are approximate and should be used as a guideline only.
If roasting without liquid in the Cooking Pan, add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the
pan. This prevents the drippings from burning on the bottom of the pan.
