Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roasts should be Auto

Roasted until specifiedinternal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved by time, according to the Cookbook which comes with your oven. Complete information on preparing

roasts for microwaving is in your

Cookbook.

How toPrepareRoasts

for Auto Roasting

Place tender beef roasts on trivet in microwave-safe dish. Insert probe

from the front horizontally into

center meaty area not touching bone or fat. Cover with wax paper.

Poultry, pork or ham roasts need no trivet. Add % cup water to roast dish, cover with plastic wrap. (For

cooking bag method, seeCookbook.) Insert probe into center

meaty area.

Place meat in oven with probe to the right. Insert cable end of probe firmly into receptacle on oven wall.

HOW to Auto ~oast Beefto Nledium

Step 1:Touch AUTO ROAST Pad.

Display flashes ENTER CODE. Touch number pad 3. “START” flashes. Touch START.

Step 2: Display showsinternal food temperature counting up.

Step 3:

Ovenmonitors internal

temperature, automatically switching to lower power as meat’s temperature rises. This helps prevent toughening or overcooking.

Step 4: After temperature is reached, oven switchesto HOLD for 1hr., then shuts off. Hold pre-

vents overcooking while keeping

meat warm.

why wasn’tmy roastfully cooked eventhoughthe temperatureon the displaywascorrectand Auto Roastwascompleted.

A. The temperature probe must be

properly inserted when you Auto

Roast. Check your Cookbook to

seewhat you might have done

rong.

Q. Do some types of

trivetswork

etterthan others?

A. Yes.Flat glass trivets generally provide more browning to the

bottom of meats than plastic trivets. Also, ceramic ridgebottomed roasting dishes usually work well. Plastic trivets may require meat to be turned over more often than glasstrivets do

because the grid design and legslet the bottom ofthe meat stay cooler than glass trivets do.

Q. WhenI’mcooking withAuto Roast, why doesn’tmy roastcontinueto cook duringtheholding

time? A. When your food reachesfin-

ished temperature, the oven automatically switchesto a lower power level.The even temperature that’s maintained in the food during this holding period keeps it warm without overcooking.
