•Preheating is not necessary.
•For openpan roasting,place meat or poultry onthe slotted portion ofthe two-piece
pan includedwith the oven. Do not add water to thepan. Use open pan roasting
fortender cuts of meat. Less tender cuts of meat need to becooked by moistheat
in acoveredpan.
•For best results,a meat thermometeris the most accurate guideto degree of
doneness. The tip ofthethermometershouldbelocatedin thethickestpartof a
roast,nottouchingfat,bone, or gristle. Forturkeysand large poultryproducts,
insertthe tip ofthe thermometerintothethickestpart ofthe innerthigh.
•Placeroastfat side upto allowselfbastingof meat duringroasting.
•Sincemeatscontinueto cook afterbeing removedfrom the oven,remove roast
from ovenwhen it reachesan internaltemperatureabout5 degrees belowthe
temperaturedesired.
•Forless lossofjuicesand easiercarving,allowabout15 minutes"standingtime"
after removingmeat from oven.
•Forbestresultsinroastingpoultry,thawcompletely.Duetothestructureofpoultry,
partiallythawedpoultrywillcookunevenly.
•Usemeat roasting charts in standard cookbooksfor recommendedtimes and

•A largecutof meat willusuallyrequirefewer minutesper poundto roastthan a
smaller cutofmeat.
•Since thebreast meat on alarge turkey cooks morequickly than thethigh area,
placea "foilcap" overthe breastarea after desired brownneasis reachedto prevent
over browning.
•Astuffedturkey will require an extra 30 to 60 minutes depending on size.Stuffing
should reach an internal temperatureof 165°F.

Thebroilerprovidesflexibilityforbroilingfoods.Ifyou havea Jenn-Airgrill, we
recommendyou usethegrill accessoryfor most ofyour broiling. There aresometypes
of foods that do requireuse of a broiler. Theseinclude foods such as stuffed lobsters,
meringue pies,or other foodswhich require top browning.
1. Placebroiler rackon therack positionsuggestedin thechart. Distancefrom burner
dependson thefoodsbeing prepared. Rack position #2 (middle) isusually
recommended unless otherwise stated (see p. 17.)
2. Turn theTEMPERATUREknobto BROIL setting.Preheatthebroilerfor 5 minutes.
3. Preparefood bytrimmingexcess fat andcut verticalslashesaround theouter edges
of the meat. Placefood on broiler pan provided with your oven.
4. After preheating the broiler cavity,place broiler pan with food on the broiler rack.
Note; Broiling is always done with the door closed.
• Tendercutsof meat ormarinatedmeatsare bestfor broiling,This includesriband
loin cutsof steak, ground beef, hamsteaks,poultry piecesor fish.For bestresults,
steaksshould be at least 1"thick. Thinner steaks should be pan-broiled.
• Donotcover broiler grid withfoil since this prevents fat drippingsfrom draining into
bottom of pan.
• Beforebroiling,remove excess fat from meat and score edgesoffat (do notcut into
meat) to prevent meat from curling.Salt after cooking.
• To prevent dry surface on fish or lean meats, brush melted butter on top.
• Foods that require turningshould be turnedonly once during broiling.Turn meat
with tongs to avoid piercing and loss of juices.
•Cooking times given in the chartare to be used only asa guide.
• Thebroiler grid must always beused with the broiler pan. Fat may become hot
enough to ignite if directly exposedto theflame.
Note; The ovenisequipped with a lower broil compartment. When the BROILsetting
is used, theoven cannot be used at the same time.

• Clean oven and broiler walls and doors with soap and water if food is not allowed
to bakeon a second time. The oven bottom iseasily accessiblefor cleaning by
removing ovendoor or the oven bottom.
•Heavy spattering of spillovers will requirecleaning with mild abrasive cleansers
such asBar KeepersFriend, S.O.S.or Bon Ami. Householdammonia maybeused
