●

Always

turn the surface unit to OFF before

removing cookware.

●

Keep an eye on foods being fried at HI or

MEDIUM HIGH heat.

●

To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric

shock,

always be certain that the controls for all
surface units are at the OFF position and all
surface units are cool before attempting to lift or
remove the unit.

●

Do not immerse or soak removable surface

units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not
self-clean the surface units in the oven.

●

When flaming foods are under the hood,

turn the fan off.

The fan, if operating, may

spread the flame.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause

uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.

A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier
than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may
overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size
used is the one recommended.

(continued)

Q.

Is it necessary to check for doneness with a

meat thermometer?

A. Checking the finished internal temperature

at

the completion of cooking time is recommended.
Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide.

For roasts over 8 pounds, check with thermometer
at half-hour intervals after half the time has passed.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to

carve it?

A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to

20 minutes after removing them from the 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.

You may notice some white ash in the oven. Just
wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with

a soap-

a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are
usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the
