Questions and Answers
Q. Is it necessary to check
for doneness with a meat
thermometer?
A. Checking the finished internal
temperature at the completion 
cooking time is recommended.
Temperatures 
 shown in
Roasting Guide on opposite page.
For roasts over 8 
 cooked at
 with reduced time, check
with thermometer at half-hour
intervals after half the time has
passed.
Step 4: Most meats continue to
cook slightly while standing, after
being removed from the oven.
Standing time recommended for
roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to firm up and makes
them easier to carve. Internal
Q. Why is my roast crumbling
temperature will rise about 5° to
when I try to carve it?
10”F. If you wish to compensate
for temperature increase, remove
the roast from the oven (at 5° to
10”F. less than temperature in the
guide).
NOTE: You may wish to use
TIME BAKE, as described in the
Baking section, to turn oven on
and off automatically y.
Remember that food will continue
to cook in the hot oven and
therefore should be removed when
the desired internal temperature
has been reached.
For Frozen Roasts
. Frozen roasts of beef, pork,
 etc., can be started without
thawing, but allow 10 to 
minutes per pound additional time
(10 minutes per pound for roasts
under 5 pounds, allow more time
per pound for larger roasts).
 Thaw most frozen poultry before
roasting to ensure even doneness.
Some commercial frozen poultry
can be cooked successfully without
thawing. Follow directions given
on packer’s label.
A. Roasts are easier to slice if
allowed to cool 10 to 
 minutes
after removing from oven. Be sure
to cut across the grain of the meat.
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven
each time I cook a roast or
poultry?
A. It is rarely necessary to preheat
your oven, only for very small
roasts, which cook a short length
of time.
Q. When buying a roast, are
there any special tips that would
help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in
thickness as possible, or buy rolled
roasts.
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil
“tent” when roasting a turkey?
A. Sealing the foil will steam the
meat. Leaving it unsealed allows
the air to circulate and brown the
meat.
