Roasting
basting is cooking by dry heat.
Tender meat or poultry can be
roasted uncovered in your oven.
Roasting temperatures, which
should be low and steady, keep
spattering to a minimum. When
roasting, it is not necessary to sear,
baste, cover, or add water to your
meat. Roasting is easy, just follow

Step 1. Position oven shelf at

small size roast (3 to 5 lbs.) and at
bottom position (A) for larger
roasts.
Step 2: Check weight of roast.
Place meat fat-side-up or poultry
breast-side-up on roasting rack in a
shallow pan. The melting fat will
baste the meat. Select a pan as
close to the size of meat as possible.
(Broiler pan with rack is a good
pan for this.)
Step 3: Turn OVEN TEMP control
to desired temperature. Check the
Roasting Chart for temperatures

Step 4: Most meats continue to
cook slightly while standing after
being removed from the oven. For
rare or medium internal doneness,
if meat is to stand 10 to 20 minutes
while making gravy or for easier
carving, you may wish to remove
meat from oven just before it is
done. If no standing is planned,
