OVEN CONTROLS
Convection Roasting tips:
• Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
• Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.
• Smaller roasts and poultry should be cooked using rack position 2 or 3.
• Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the rec-
ommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until
the desired doneness is obtained.
• Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast
recommendations for additional information.
• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.
• When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the in-
sert helps prevent grease splatters.

* The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only
140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide)
The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F
(77ºC
** Stuffed turkey requires additional roasting time. Shield legs and breast with foil to prevent over browning and dry-
ing of the skin.
