Roasting meats and poultry
� For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a
shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the drippings and allows the heat to circulate better. � Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of the largest muscle or thickest portion of the meat or poultry. Make sure the thermometer is not touching bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.
