USING YOUR OVEN Roasting Roasting is oven cooking of tender cuts of meat and poultry. Low temperature roasting cooks meat to an appetizing brown with out undue loss of juices and minimum shrinkage. It also reduces spattering and keeps oven cleanup to a minimum. FOR BEST RESULTS: 7/ 1. Check weight of meat and place, fat side up, on roasting rack in a shallow pan. 2. Place on oven rack in middle or lower position. Close oven door. 3. Set oven control at 325°F. 4. Follow time suggested on the roasting chart in your favorite cookbook. These times are only a guide as meat cuts will differ. A meat thermometer is the only accurate test for doneness. Broiling Broiling is a fast method for cooking tender cuts of meats, poultry, ham and fish. Your range is equipped with a variable broil feature which allows you to broil at temperatures from the BROIL setting down to 350°F. Broil with the door closed, for a cleaner, cooler kitchen. The smoke from broiling is consumed as it is drawn over a rod-type broil element. Turn the oven control dial clockwise to BROIL for a full broil. TO SET AT TEMPERATURES BELOW FULL BROIL, TURN TO BROIL AND THEN BACK TO THE DESIRED SETTING. For broiling do not turn the oven control dial below 350°F. After broiling, the dial must be turned to OFF before baking.
