• Avoid the steam vents when removing or lifting the LID.
• Signi cant amounts of heat escape whenever the LID is
removed; therefore the cooking time must be extended.
Avoid frequent removal of the LID for checking cooking
progress or stirring.
• To use the LID REST feature, hold the LID upright by the
HANDLE and place the edge of the LID under the metal tabs
just above either side HANDLE.
• Convenience foods can be baked in the roaster oven. Place
container on ROASTING RACK. Follow package directions.
• Meats roasted in your Roaster Oven will be moist and tender.
For additional browning, brush oil or butter over the meat
before cooking.
• To create a darker roasted, crispier skin poultry, do not add
liquids (with the exception of the basting butter or oil) until
there are only 30 minutes left of cooking.

Roasting Meats And Poultry
Meats will cook more rapidly in the Roaster Oven than
a conventional oven. Reducing temperature and increasing
time will result in a browner, crispier crust. Times indicated
below are approximate and should be used as a guideline only.
Baking*
• Baking pans should always be placed on the ROASTING RACK.
Do not place pans on bottom of REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN.
• Metal pans are recommended for use in the roaster as they
provide better heat transfer and browning.
