QuestionsandAnswers
Q.Why wasn’tmy roastfully
cookedeventhoughthetempera-
tureon thedisplaywascorrectand
Auto Roastwascompleted.
A. The temperature probe must be
properly inserted when you Auto
Roast. Check your Cookbook to see
what you might havedone wrong.
Q. Do sometypesof trivetswork
betterthan others?
A. Yes.Flat glass trivets generally
provide more browning to the
bottom of meatsthan plastic trivets.
Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed
roasting dishes usually work well.
Plastic trivets may require meat to
be turned over more often than
glasstrivets do because the grid
design and legs let the bottom of
the meat stay cooler than glass
trivets do.
Q. When I’mcookingwithAuto
Roast,why doesn’tmyroastcon-
tinueto cookduringthe holding
time?
A. When your food reachesfinished
temperature, the oven automatically
switches to alower heat level.The
eventemperature that’s maintained
in the food during this holding
period keeps it warm without
overcooking.
