How to Set Your Oven for Roasting
Place the shelf in or position. 
No preheating is necessary.
Check the weight of the meat. Place
the meat fat side up, or poultry breast
side up, on roasting grid in a shallow
pan. The melting fat will baste the
meat. Select a pan as close to the size 
of the meat as possible. (A broiler pan
with grid is a good pan for this.)
Touch the BAKE pad.
To change the oven temperature during the
roasting cycle, touch the BAKE pad and set 
the new temperature.
Touch the or – pad to set the 
oven temperature.
Touch the START pad.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when
roasting is finished.
Before You Begin Roasting…
Roasting is really a baking procedure used
for meats. Therefore, the oven controls are
set for Baking or Timed Baking. (You may
hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the
oven is working properly.) Timed Baking
will turn the oven on and off automatically.
Most meats continue to cook slightly after
being removed from the oven. The internal
temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F
during the recommended standing time of
10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm
up and makes them easier to carve. 
To compensate for this rise in temperature,
you may want to remove the roast sooner
(at 5° to 10°F less than the temperature in
the Roasting Guide).
REMEMBER: Food will continue to cook in 
the hot oven and therefore should be removed
when the desired internal temperature has
been reached.

Roasting 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.
