(Please read the manufacturer's instructions. ) Large roasting joints can be cooked directly in the tray or on the shelf with the tray placed below For all lean meat, we recommend roasting these in a roasting tray with a lid. All types of meat, that can be browned or have crackling, can be roasted in the roasting tin without the lid. 3 Tips on using the roasting chart The figures in the following table are for guidance only. We recommend cooking meat and fish over 1 kg in weight in the oven. To prevent escaping meat juices or fat from burning on to the pan, we recommend placing some water in the roasting pan. Turn the meat as required (after about 1/2 - 2/3 of cooking time). Baste large roasting joints and poultry several times during the cooking time. After every use, wipe the oven with a solution of washing-up liquid and allow to dry. Remove stubborn residues with a special oven cleaner. Warning: If using an oven spray, please follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly. 3 1 Accessories Wash all slide-in units (shelf unit, baking tray, shelf support rails etc. ) after each use and dry well.
