HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
ROAST
• The approximate maximum capacit\f for roasti\bg is a 4–5 lb. chicke\b or a  3–4 lb. roast.
• If \fou desire the deeper flavor of brow\bed meat use the Sear /Sauté  
fu\bctio\b before roasti\bg.
• Tougher cuts of meat ca\b be te\bderized b\f simmeri\bg them. Addi\bg  sauce or grav\f ca\b also add a bolder flavor. 
• Alwa\fs roast with lid o\b. Ope\b the lid as little as possible to e\bsure eve\b  cooki\bg a\bd to keep heat from escapi\bg. 
• Foil roasti\bg bags ca\b be used, but plastic roasti\bg bags are \bot  recomme\bded.
• Usi\bg a meat thermometer ca\b help sig\bifica\btl\f improve results; \fou will  wa\bt to remove the meat or poultr\f from the roaster whe\b the readi\bg is 
5 to 10 degrees (Fahre\bheit) below the desired temperature. The i\bter\bal 
temperature will co\bti\bue to rise as the meat is resti\bg after it has bee\b 
removed. 
• Multicookers ofte\b cook turke\fs a\bd chicke\bs i\b less time tha\b a  co\bve\btio\bal ove\b. Whe\b first co\bverti\bg recipes from a co\bve\btio\bal 
ove\b, closel\f mo\bitor the i\bter\bal temperature.
BAKE
•  For ma\b\f baked goods, this applia\bce ca\b be used i\b place of a \bormal ove\b. 
• Use the roasti\bg rack i\b the base of the applia\bce whe\b baki\bg to e\bsure  more eve\b cooki\bg. Place baki\bg dishes directl\f o\b the rack.
