RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES AND TIMES FOR ROASTING
Meat roasting is most satisfactory at temperatures of 225 to 325°F (107 to
163°C) for beef, lamb, poultry, and ham; 325°F (163°C) for fresh pork as
recommended by USDA and American Meat Institute.
A pan, approximately 12 x 20 x 1(305 x 508 x 25 mm) full of water, may be placed in the oven bottom. This water supplies humidity to reduce shrinkage. Water should be added if necessary during roasting. Roasting pans should be no deeper than necessary to hold drippings (usually 2 to 21/2
(51 to 64 mm).
Cooking time and shrinkage may vary with roasting temperature, cut, grade of
meat, and degree of doneness. Smaller cuts will generally show greater time
savings than larger cuts at a given temperature.

COOKING HINTS
Forced air convection cooking is faster than conventional oven cooking, and
therefore overcooking is more common. Do not cook products faster than is
practical for the best results. Since forced air convection supplies heat to
the surface of the product, the thicker or more massive a product is for its
type, the longer it will take to absorb enough heat to cook.
The oven will cook or bake full or partial loads at standard recipe
temperatures. As with any oven, you may wish to use a temperature of up to 25
F° (-4 C°) higher or lower than the recipe for the particular product result
that you prefer.
When established, convection oven times and control settings should be noted
on your recipe.
SUGGESTED COOKING GUIDELINES
Recommended temperatures, times, and a number of racks are intended as a guide
only. Adjustments must be made to compensate for variations in recipes,
ingredients, preparation, and personal preference in product appearance.
The oven does not require special recipes. Excellent results can be obtained
from any good commercial recipe with reduced cooking times.
COOKING GUIDELINES
The information in the Cooking Guidelines chart is suggested only. Cooking
times for various products may be different depending on the brand,
consistency and the chef’s preferences for taste and presentation. The times
below may require adjustments. Note the times and temperatures of your
preferred results for future use. The preheating time for all of the following
is 15 minutes. The computer control’s Holding Temperature is preset at 150°F
(66°C) and cannot be changed.
