Aluminum: Medium-weight cookwareisrecommendedbecause itheatsquicklyand evenly.Most

foodsbrownevenlyin analuminum skillet.Mineralsin foodandwater willstainbut willnotharm aluminum.A quickscour with a

soap-filledwoo]pad after each use keeps aluminumcookwarelooking

shinynew.Use saucepanswith tight-fittinglids for cookingwith minimumamountsof water.

Cast h-on: If heated slowly,most skilletswillgivesatisfactoryresults.

Enamelware: Under some

conditions,theenamel ofsome cookwaremaymeh. Followcookware manufacturer’srecommendations forcookingmethods.

G&ass:There are two typesof glass

utensils—thosefor ovenuse only and those fortop-of-rangecooking (saucepans,coffeeand teapots).

Glassconductsheat very slowly. Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can

be used foreither surface or oven cooking.It conductsheat very slowlyand coolsvery slowly. Check cookwaremanufacturer’s

directionsto be sure it can be used ongas ranges.

Yourlower ovenis ventedthrough a

and the upper ovenvent isjust above the upper ovendoor (see

ofthese ducts when cooking in the ovens—itis importantthat theflow of fresh air to the ovenburners be uninterrupted. Avoidtouching the ventopeningsor nearby surfaces during ovencooking-they may become hot.

Roastingiscookingby dry heat. Tendermeator poultrycan be roasteduncoveredin your oven.

Roastingtemperatures, which shouldbe lowand steady,keep spatteringto aminimum. When roasting, it isnot necessary to sear, baste, cover,or add waterto your

meat. Roastingis easy,just follow thesesteps:

Step L Positionovenshelfat secondfrombottomposition (B) for smallsize roast (3 to5 lbs.) and at

bottomposition(A)forlargerroasts.

Step 2: Checkweight of roast. Place meatfat-side-upor poultry breast-side-uponroastingrack in a

shallowpan. The melting fat will bastethe meat. Selecta pan as closeto thesizeofmeatas possible. (Broilerpan withrack isa good pan forthis.)

Step 3: Turn OVENTEMP control

to desired temperature.Check the RoastingChart fortemperatures and approximatecookingtimes.

Step 4: Most meatscontinueto cookslightly while standingafkr . beingremovedfromtheoven.For rare or mediuminternaldoneness, ifmeatisto stand10to20 minutes whilemakinggravyor foreasier carving,youmaywish to remove meatfrom ovenjust beforeitis done. If no standingisplanned, cook meat to suggested temperature.

coatingwhich cannotbe cleaned in the usualmanner with soap, detergents,commercial oven cleaners, coarse abrasivepads or

permanent damage. The special coating is a porous

finish tends toprevent grease

it is dispersed and ispartially absorbed. This spreading action increases theexposure ofoven soil to heated air, and makes it
