fan:
Figure 20: Convection Roast
The convection roast mode is well suited to preparing
tender cuts of meat and poultry.
The benefi ts of convection roasting, include:
•
As much as 25% faster cooking than standard
Roasting/ Baking
•
Rich, golden browning
For Best Results:
•
Use the same temperature as indicated in the
recipe.
•
Check doneness early as roasting time may
decrease by as much as 25%. Refer to convection
roast chart for examples.
•
Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
•
Use the broil pan and grid provided with the oven
for roasting. A low-sided, uncovered pan can also
be used.
•
Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal
temperature of the meat.
•
If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet
done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the
meat to prevent overbrowning.
•
Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes
after removing from the oven.
