Season roast as desired, but add salt after cooking.
Salt can be used for cooking Pork.
Beef, Pork and Lamb Roasts: Place fat-side
down on Low Rack with a dish underneath to catch
drips. Place pork rib roasts, rib tips down on Low
Rack. Shield thin ends, cut edges and bony areas
to prevent overcooking. To shield, place a thin strip
of foil over top cut edges of roast. Cover tapered
thinner section of roast with a small square of foil.
(Foil should not touch sides of the oven, as arcing
may occur.) Remove foil halfway through cooking
time. Always turn meats over halfway through
cooking.
Canned Ham (1.5 kg to .5 kg): Place on Low
Rack. Shield top cut edge with a 4 cm wide strip of
foil. Fold foil over top cut edge and down the sides.
(Foil should not touch oven sides, as arcing may
occur.)
Pot Roast (1. kg to 1.75 kg): Place meat,
vegetables and seasonings in large oven proof
casserole dish. Cover with a lid. If desired, the
pot roast may be cooked in an oven cooking bag.
Prepare the oven cooking bag according to package
directions. Do not use wire or metal twist-ties. Use
the nylon ties provided, or use a piece of cotton
string or a strip cut from the oven bag. Place bag in
oven proof casserole dish. Place dish on Ceramic
Tray. Cook on Combination 1.

covered, for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the roast to
sit and finish cooking.
Roasts are easier to carve after standing.
As with Microwave cooking, roasts cooked by
Combination will continue to cook during the
stand time. During stand time check the internal
temperature of the roast using a Microwave or
conventional thermometer. The thermometer should
not touch bone or fat. If it does, the reading could
be inaccurate. If the temperatures are lower than
desired, return the roast to the oven and cook a few
more minutes at the recommended Combination
Setting.
DO NOT USE A MICROWAVE OR CONVENTIONAL
MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE OVEN WHEN
COOKING BY COMBINATION.
Stand 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
