Step2: Checkweightof roas~. Placemeatfat-side-upor poultry breast-side-upon roastingrack in a shallowpan. Themeltingfatwill bastethe meat. Selecta panas closeto the sizeof meatas possible. (Broilerpan withrack is a good pan for this.)

Step3: lbrn OVENTEMPcontrol to desiredtemperature.Checkthe RoastingGuidefor temperatures andapproximatecookingtimes.

Step4:Mostmeatscontinueto cookslightlywhilestandingafter beingremovedfromthe oven.For rare or mediuminternaldoneness, if meatis to stand 10to 20 minutes whilemakinggravyor foreasier carving,youmaywishto remove meatfromovenjust beforeit is done.If no standingis planned, cookmeatto suggested temperature
