ROASTING
Roasting takes place in the lower part of the oven.
It is recommended to pre-heat the oven for about 10 minutes before placing the
roast in the oven.
Remember that moderate temperatures will:
a Ensure that the meat cooks evenly.
b Reduce weight loss and shrinkage.
c Require less attention.
d Reduce the amount of splatter and smoke release.
If a crispy texture is required then it is best to increase the temperature towards the
end of the roasting process.
Selecting the correct shelf position can also affect cooking. The closer to the heat
source, the higher the temperature.
With a little experience excellent results may be obtained.
THE OVEN SHELF
The oven shelf may be set at one of 4 different levels depending on requirements.

CLEANING THE OVEN
• Use a hot, soapy, damp cloth to clean the oven.
