SETTING 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 1 glide or 2 flat.
• Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommended 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 recommenda-
tions 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 insert helps
prevent grease splatters.
• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack. Use a deep pan instead.

* 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 drying of the skin.
