Oven Operations Bosch HBL7 / HBN7 Oven Use and Care Manual Convection Roast Tips and Techniques • Preheat for Convection Roast. • Roast in a low-sided, uncovered pan. • When roasting whole chickens or turkey, tuck wings behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string. • Use the 3-piece broil pan for roasting uncovered. • Use the probe or a meat thermometer to determine the internal doneness on "END" temperature (see cooking chart). • Double-check the internal temperature of meat/poultry by inserting meat thermometer into another position. • When roasting a large roast or turkey, roasting pan may need to be rotated during roasting time. This will allow for more even cooking. Large birds may also need to be covered with foil (and pan roasted) during a portion of the roasting time to prevent over-browning. QUICK AND EASY RECIPE TIPS Converting from standard BAKE to CONVECTION ROAST: • Temperature does not have to be lowered. • Roasts, large cuts of meat and poultry generally take 10-20% less cooking time. Check doneness early. • Casseroles or pot roasts that are baked covered in CONVECTION ROAST will cook in about the same amount of • The minimum safe temperture for stuffing in poultry is 165ºF (74ºC). • After removing the item from the oven, cover loosely with foil for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. • While covered, roast temperatures increase by 5° to 10°F. Convection Roasting with the Probe • The meat probe can be used to determine the internal doneness or the "END" temperature (see cooking chart, Page 23). • The temperature range for the probe is 130°F to 210°F (55°C to 100°C). The probe automatic default temperature is programmed at 170°F (77°C) but can be set for your recipe. • Preheating the oven for Convection Roast is not recommended when using the probe. A hot oven will impair your ability to easily connect the probe to the receptacle and into the meat. TO USE THE PROBE 1. Prepare meat and place in roasting pan (or on rack in roasting pan as recipe specifies). Insert the probe into the thickest center portion of the meat. 2. Make sure the probe is not touching fat, bone, the roast rack or the pan. 3. Place roasting pan with meat in cold oven on recommended oven rack. Plug probe into the probe receptacle. The probe symbol will appear in display. 4. Touch COOKING MODE and select Convection Roast. CONVECTION ROAST will flash and the default temperature will appear. 325ºF CONVECTION ROAST 10:10 AM Page 20
