Grounding Instructions section in the back of  
this manual.  
• As with any appliance, close supervision is  
necessary when used by children.  
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as  
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive  
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This  
microwave/convection oven is specifically  
designed to heat or cook food, and is not  
intended for laboratory or industrial use.  
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:  
— Do not overcook food. Carefully attend  
appliance when paper, plastic or other  
combustible materials are placed inside  
the oven to facilitate cooking.  
• For best operation, plug this appliance into  
its own electrical outlet, to prevent flickering  
of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit  
breaker.  
— Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles  
from paper or plastic bags before placing  
them in the oven.  
— Do not use your microwave convection oven  
/
to dry newspapers.  
• Do not mount this appliance over a sink.  
Install or locate this appliance only in  
accordance with the provided Installation  
Instructions.  
— Do not use recycled paper products.  
Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed  
paper can contain metal flecks which may  
cause arcing or ignite. Paper products  
containing nylon or nylon filaments should  
be avoided, as they may also ignite.  
• Do not cover or block any openings on the  
appliance.  
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not  
use this product near water—for example,  
in a wet basement, near a swimming pool,  
near a sink or in similar locations.  
— Do not pop popcorn in your microwave/  
convection oven unless in a special microwave  
popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn  
labeled for use in microwave ovens.  
• This microwave convection oven is not

— Do not overcook potatoes. They could  
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage  
to your oven.  
approved or tested for marine use.  
• Do not store anything directly on top of the  
microwave/convection oven surface when  
the oven is in operation.  
— Do not operate the oven in microwave or  
combination modes while empty to avoid  
damage to the oven and the danger of fire.  
If by accident the oven should run empty a  
minute or two, no harm is done. However,  
try to avoid operating the oven empty at all  
times—it saves energy and prolongs the life  
of the oven.  
• Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.  
• Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.  
• Do not let power cord hang over edge of table  
or counter.

— Do not use the Sensor Features twice in  
succession on the same food portion. If food  
is undercooked after the first countdown, use  
MICRO COOK for additional cooking time.  
• Sometimes, the oven floor and walls can  
become too hot to touch. Be careful touching  
the floor and walls during and after cooking.  
• Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend  
to boil over more rapidly than foods containing  
less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care  
and Cleaning section(s) for instructions on how to  
clean the inside of the oven.  
— Do not use the oven for storage purposes.  
Do not leave paper products, cooking  
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.  
— If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven  
door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect  
power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or  
circuit breaker panel.  
• Thermometer—Do not use regular cooking  
or oven thermometers when cooking by  
microwave or combination. The metal and  
mercury in these thermometers could cause  
“arcing” and possible damage to the oven.  
Do not use a thermometer in food you are  
microwaving unless the thermometer is  
designed or recommended for use in the  
microwave oven.  
When using the convection or combination  
cooking functions, both the outside and inside of  
the oven will become hot. Always use hot pads to  
remove containers of food and accessories such as  
the metal accessory rack and temperature probe.  
• Oversized food or oversized metal cookware  
• Remove the temperature probe from the oven  
when not using it to cook with. If you leave the  
probe inside the oven without inserting it in food  
or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can  
create electrical arcing in the oven, damage oven  
walls and damage the temperature probe.  
should not be used in a microwave convection  
/
oven because they increase the risk of electric  
shock and could cause a fire.  
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces  
can burn off the pad and touch electrical  
parts involving risk of electric shock.  
• Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed  
for microwave cooking is very useful, but  
should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe  
plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking  
conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and  
may soften or char if subjected to short periods  
of overcooking. In longer exposures to  
overcooking, the food and cookware could  
ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave-  
safe plastics only and use them in strict  
compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s  
recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty  
cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit  
children to use plastic cookware without  
complete supervision.  
• Do not use paper products when the  
microwave convection oven is operated  
/
in the convection or combination mode.  
• Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow  
necked bottles (especially carbonated  
beverages). Even if the container is opened,  
pressure can build up. This can cause the  
container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.  
• Use foil only as directed in this manual.  
TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays  
less than 3/4high; remove the top foil cover  
and return the tray to the box. When using foil  
in the microwave oven, keep the foil at least  
1away from sides of the oven.  
• Do not cover the shelf or any other part of  
the oven with metal foil. This will cause  
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat  
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of  
160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL  
temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these  
temperatures usually protects against foodborne  
illness.  
overheating of the microwave convection oven.  
/
• Cookware may become hot  
because of heat transferred from  
the heated food. Pot holders may  
be needed to handle the cookware.  
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven.  
Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will  
cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
(continued)  
• Foods with unbroken outer ‘‘skin’’  
such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes,  
apples, chicken livers and other  
giblets, and egg yolks (see previous  
caution) should be pierced to allow  
steam to escape during cooking.  
• Hot foods and steam can cause  
burns. Be careful when opening any  
containers of hot food, including  
popcorn bags, cooking pouches and  
boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct  
steam away from hands and face.  
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even  
with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is  
thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the  
heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding  
when warming formula or breast milk. The  
container may feel cooler than the milk really is.  
Always test the milk before feeding the baby.  
SAFETY FACT—Superheated water.  
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea, are  
able to be overheated beyond the boiling  
point without appearing to be boiling.  
Visible bubbling or boiling when the  
container is removed from the microwave  
oven is not always present. THIS COULD  
RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS  
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN  
THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR  
A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS  
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.  
• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in  
microwave ovens. Check the package for  
proper use.  
• ‘‘Boilable’’ cooking pouches and tightly closed  
plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as  
directed by package. If they are not, plastic could  
burst during or immediately after cooking,  
possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage  
containers should be at least partially uncovered  
because they form a tight seal. When cooking  
with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap,  
remove covering carefully and direct steam away  
from hands and face.  
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:  
— Do not overheat the liquid.  
— Stir the liquid both before and halfway  
through heating it.  
— Do not use straight-sided containers with  
narrow necks.  
• Use of the shelf accessory.  
— After heating, allow the container to stand  
in the microwave oven for a short time  
before removing the container.  
Use pot holders when handling the shelf and  
cookware. They will be hot.  
— Use extreme care when inserting a spoon  
or other utensil into the container.  
Never use the shelf for microwave-only  
cooking. Remove the shelf from the oven  
when microwave-only cooking.  
• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed  
containers—for example, closed glass jars—  
are able to explode and should not be heated  
in this microwave oven. Such use of the

MICROWAVING TIPS  
• Make sure all cookware used in your microwave  
• Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can  
be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture  
and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap  
so steam can escape.  
oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass  
casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard  
cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not  
have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen  
can be used. Some cookware is labeled ‘‘suitable  
for microwaving.’’  
• Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating  
or rearranging.  
• Steam builds up pressure in foods which are  
tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce  
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent  
bursting.  
• If you are not  
sure if a dish is  
microwave-safe,  
use this test:  
Place in the oven  
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make  
sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.  
both the dish you  
are testing and a  
glass measuring  
cup filled with one  
cup of water—set the measuring cup either in or  
next to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. If the  
dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving.  
If the dish remains cool and only the water in the  
cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.  
VARIABLE POWER LEVELS (1–10)  
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off)  
give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat  
to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown  
with Power Level 3—the defrost cycle. If microwave  
energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would  
cook before the inside was defrosted.  
How to Change Power Level  
1. Press MICRO COOK or TIME DEFROST.  
2. Select cooking or defrosting time.  
3. Press POWER LEVEL.  
4. Select desired power  
Here are some examples of uses for various power  
levels:  
level 1–10.  
5. Press START.  
POWER LEVEL  
BEST USES  
High 10  
Fish, bacon, vegetables,  
boiling liquids.  
Variable power levels add flexibility to your microwave  
cooking. The power levels on your microwave oven  
can be compared to the surface units on a range. High  
(Power Level 10) or full power is the fastest way to  
cook and gives you 100% power. Each power level  
gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the  
time. Power Level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the  
time. Power Level 3 is energy 30% of the time.  
Med-High 7  
Medium 5  
Gentle cooking of meat and  
poultry; baking casseroles  
and reheating.  
Slow cooking and tenderizing  
such as stews and less tender  
cuts of meat.  
A high setting (10) will cook faster but may need  
additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating  
or turning over. Most of your cooking will be done  
on High (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook  
more evenly and with less attention given to stirring  
or rotating the food. Some foods may have better  
flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower  
settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power  
level when cooking foods that have a tendency to  
boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.  
Low 3  
Defrosting without cooking;  
simmering; delicate sauces.  
Warm 1  
Keeping food warm without  
overcooking; softening butter.

WHAT YOUR OVEN CAN DO  
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety  
The Microwave Sensor Cooking Features (Sensor  
Cook, Sensor Reheat and Sensor Popcorn) do your  
microwave cooking for you. They are easy and  
convenient—just follow the step-by-step instructions  
in this manual. A sensor detects steam from the food  
and automatically adjusts cooking time and power  
level for best results.  
of food preparation options. Microwave cooking  
uses very short, high frequency radio waves. The  
movement of the microwaves through the food  
generates heat and cooks most foods faster than  
regular methods, while retaining their natural  
texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats  
food directly, not the cookware or the interior  
of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is  
particularly convenient because less time is spent  
in food preparation.  
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession  
on the same food portion—it may result in severely  
overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked  
after the countdown, use MICRO COOK for  
additional cooking time.  
Convection cooking constantly circulates heated  
air around the food, creating even browning and  
sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air  
over the food surfaces.  
Combination Roast uses alternating microwave and  
convection to roast meats to perfection.  
Auto Defrost automatically sets the defrosting time  
and power levels for you. Enter the food weight in  
pounds and tenths of a pound and touch the START  
pad. The oven calculates the defrosting time and  
changes power levels during defrosting to give even  
defrosting results.  
Your new oven also offers the option of combination  
cooking, using microwave energy along with  
convection cooking. You cook with speed and  
accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.  
You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking  
or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply  
preset the length of cooking time desired and your  
oven turns off automatically. Or you can cook by  
temperature, by these methods, using the temperature  
probe to determine the doneness by the internal  
temperature of the food. This method takes the  
guesswork out of cooking, shutting the oven off  
automatically when the food reaches the desired  
temperature.  
The Delay Start/Reminder feature lets you program  
the oven to start cooking at a desired time, even if  
you’re not at home. The Reminder feature can be  
used like an alarm clock.

Cookware Tips  
Convection Cooking  
Combination Cooking  
METAL PANS are recommended for all types of baked  
products, but especially where browning or crusting  
is important.  
GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC baking containers  
are recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal  
trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall  
or metal accessory shelf, damaging the cookware, the  
shelf or the oven.  
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and  
pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper  
crust.  
HEAT-RESISTANT PLASTIC microwave cookware  
(safe to 400°F) may be used, but it is not recommended  
for foods requiring crusting or all-around browning,  
because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.  
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies  
or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help  
produce a light tender crust.  
GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC casserole or baking  
dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due  
to the cleanability of glass.

HOW TO USE THE KITCHEN TIMER  
The Kitchen Timer  
Using a Holding Time  
The Kitchen Timer has 3 timing functions:  
The Kitchen Timer can also be used to program a  
“holding time” between microwave cooking functions.

DEFROSTING BY TIME  
Time Defrost (Power Level 3)  
Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of  
frozen food and is one of the great advantages of  
a microwave oven.  
To become better acquainted with the defrost  
function, defrost a 10 oz. package of frozen  
strawberries by following the steps below.  
Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods  
such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen  
dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for  
meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting  
time and power levels for you.  
Step 1: Place a package of frozen strawberries in  
the oven and close door. Be sure package contains  
no metal.  
Step 2: Touch TIME DEFROST.  
• Power Level 3 is automatically set when you press  
TIME DEFROST pad, but you may change this for  
more flexibility.  
Step 3: Select one half of the total defrosting time  
recommended. For example, touch pads 4, 0 and 0  
for 4 minutes.  
• See the Defrosting Guide for defrosting help.  
How to Change Power Level  
Step 4: Touch START. When the cycle is  
completed, the oven signals and flashes  
“End,” then automatically shuts off.

strawberries to finish defrosting.  
Defrosting Tips  
• Foods frozen in paper or  
plastic can be defrosted in  
the package. Tightly closed  
packages should be slit,  
pierced or vented, AFTER  
food has partially defrosted,  
as directed by package.  
Plastic storage containers  
should be at least partially  
uncovered.  
• For even defrosting, some  
foods need to be broken up  
or separated part of the way  
through the defrosting time.  
• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,  
stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to  
sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room  
temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.  
• Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.  
• Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be  
defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil  
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.  
Questions and Answers  
Q. When I press START, I hear a dull thumping  
noise. What is it?  
Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?  
A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention  
than usual. Raise the power level after entering  
the time by touching the desired power level pad.  
Power Level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in  
about 1/2; Power Level 10 cuts the total defrosting  
time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or  
stir food frequently.  
A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the  
magnetron is in operation.

COOKING BY TEMPERATURE  
Internal temperature is the best test of doneness  
Temp Cook/Hold takes the guesswork out of cooking  
because the oven automatically switches to ‘‘Hold’’  
setting after reaching the preset food temperature  
and maintains that temperature until you touch the  
CLEAR/OFF pad.  
for many foods.  
Use Temp Cook/Hold to cook a variety of foods to  
the desired finished food temperature. The Micro  
Cook setting is recommended for batters, doughs,  
frozen foods and foods which are difficult to cook  
precisely with the probe.  
NOTE: Oven automatically switches to ‘‘Hold’’  
when preset food temperature is reached.  
The Temperature Probe  
The temperature probe is a food thermometer that  
gauges the internal temperature of your food.  
Use the probe when you want to Convection Cook  
or Combination Cook to a preferred internal  
temperature. (Its appearance may vary from picture  
shown.) The probe must be used when using Temp  
Cook/Hold or Combination Roast. To use the probe  
properly, follow directions in the Combination  
Roasting section.

Step 2: Touch TEMP COOK/HOLD pad.  
Step 3: Touch 1, 6 and 0 for 160°F.  
Step 6: When 160°F is reached, the oven will sound  
and display ‘‘Hold.’’ The oven will then hold the  
temperature for up to one hour.  
Step 4: Touch POWER LEVEL pad. Touch 5 for  
medium power.  
Step 7: Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad to stop the cycle.  
Step 8: Remove probe and food from the oven.  
Cooking Tips  
• Use a lower power level; foods will heat more  
evenly though requiring more time.  
• Cover foods loosely for moisture control and quick,  
even heating.  
• Be sure frozen food has been completely defrosted  
before inserting probe. Probe may break off if used  
in frozen foods.  
• Insert the probe horizontally into the center meaty  
area not touching bone or fat. Make sure the handle  
does not touch the food or top or sides of the oven.  
Questions and Answers  
Q. Why did ‘‘PRObE’’ flash on the display?  
Q. Can I leave my probe in the oven if it’s not  
inserted in food?  
A. ‘‘PRObE’’ will flash if you don’t seat the  
cable end of the probe securely into the receptacle  
in the oven wall or if you touch the TEMP  
COOK/HOLD pad and forget to use the probe.  
A. No, if it touches the oven wall, it may damage  
the oven.

CONTAINERS AND COVERS  
Containers and Covers  
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure  
good cooking results.  
Match the amount of food to the size of the  
container. Fill containers at least half full for  
best results.  
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover  
them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Wonder  
if it’s microwave-safe? Put it to the test described  
in the Microwaving Tips section.  
Be sure the outside of the cooking container and  
the inside of the microwave oven are dry before  
placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning  
into steam can mislead the sensor.  
Never use tight-sealing plastic covers—they  
can prevent steam from escaping and cause food  
to overcook.  
Stir or rotate some foods after a beeping signal,

Cookware and Accessories section.  
used to raise the temperature of the air inside the  
oven. A fan gently circulates this heated air  
throughout the oven, over and around the food,  
producing golden brown exteriors and rich, moist  
interiors. Because the heated air is kept constantly  
moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to  
develop around the food, some foods cook faster  
than in regular oven cooking.  
For best results  
1. Place the shelf on the oven floor.  
2. Allow at least 1between the pan and the walls of the oven.  
3. When converting your favorite recipe from regular oven  
cooking to convection, lower the oven temperature  
25–35° and check at minimum time.  
How to Convection Preheat and Time Cook  
Step 1: Touch Convection COOK pad.  
Step 4: Open the oven door and place the food in  
the oven.  
Step 5: Close the oven door. Set the desired cooking  
time in hours and minutes by touching number pads  
in sequence beginning with hours. For example,  
to set 2 hours and 30 minutes, touch number pads 2,  
3, and 0 in that order. To enter time less than one  
hour, for example, 30 minutes, touch 0, 3 and 0.  
Step 2: Enter the oven temperature by touching  
the number pads that correspond with the desired  
oven temperature. For example, touch number pads  
2, 7, and 5 for 275°F. Do not enter convection cook  
time now.  
Step 6: Touch START pad. When cooking  
is completed, the display shows “End” and  
the oven signals and turns off.  
Step 3: Touch START. If you do not open

CONVECTION TEMPERATURE COOKING  
You can also convection cook with the temperature probe, to assure  
that foods are cooked precisely to the degree of doneness desired,  
while the constantly circulating hot air assures even cooking and  
delicious browning. The temperature probe monitors the internal  
temperature of the food and turns the oven off automatically when  
the desired temperature is reached.  
For best results  
1. Place the shelf on the oven floor.  
2. Allow at least 1between the pan and the walls of the oven.  
3. When converting your favorite recipe from regular oven  
cooking to convection, lower the oven temperature  
25–35° and check at minimum time.  
How to Convection Temperature Cook  
Step 1: Insert probe in  
food as directed in the  
Cookbook or in this  
manual. Plug other end  
of probe securely into  
wall receptacle.  
Step 3: Enter oven temperature by touching the  
number pads that correspond with the desired oven  
temperature. For example, touch 2, 2, 5 for 225°F.  
Step 4: Touch the appropriate number pads in  
sequence to enter the desired food temperature.  
Any food temperature from 90°F to 199°F may be  
programmed. For example, touch 1, 8 and 0, in that  
order, for 180°F. The temperature selected is shown  
on the display.  
Step 2: Touch Convection COOK pad.  
Step 5: Touch START pad. When food

shows “End,” oven signals and turns off.  
Questions and Answers  
Q. After I preheated my oven, I tried to set  
cooking time, but nothing happened.  
What is the problem?  
Q. Can I store the probe in the oven when it is  
not in use?  
A. Leaving the probe in the oven is not recommended.  
If you forget and leave it in during cooking,  
without having inserted it in food, damage to  
the probe or to the oven may result.  
A. Until you open the oven door or touch the  
CLEAR/OFF pad, the oven remains in the preheat  
mode and no further instructions can be entered.  
After 1 hour oven automatically turns off.  
Q. Can I check during the cooking cycle to be sure  
that I have set the correct oven temperature?  
A. Yes. If you touch the Convection COOK pad at  
any time during cooking, the selected oven  
temperature is displayed on the display.

COMBINATION TIME COOKING  
Combination cooking offers the best features of microwave energy  
and convection cooking. Microwaves cook food fast and convection  
circulation of heated air browns foods beautifully.

COMBINATION TEMPERATURE COOKING  
With this function of your new oven, you can enjoy the benefits of  
combination cooking with the precision of the temperature probe.  
The probe makes it simple to cook to the exact degree of doneness  
desired, by monitoring the internal temperature of the food. This  
function is exactly like combination time cooking except you set  
internal food temperature desired instead of cooking time.  
For best results  
1. Place the shelf on the oven floor.  
2. Allow at least 1between the pan and the walls of the oven.  
3. When converting your favorite recipe from regular oven cooking  
to combination temperature cooking, lower the oven temperature  
25–35° and check at minimum time.  
How to Combination Temperature Cook  
Step 1: Insert probe in  
food as directed in the  
Cookbook or in this  
manual. Plug other end  
of probe securely into

Questions and Answers  
Q. When I cook poultry, the thin, small areas like  
legs and wings often overcook before the rest  
of the bird is thoroughly cooked. How can I  
prevent this?  
Q. Meats often take longer than indicated in the  
guides to reach the desired internal  
temperature. Why?  
A. If the meat is recently defrosted and still very cold  
or icy inside, it will require a longer cooking time  
than meat which has been merely refrigerated.  
Times shown in the guides are usually for meats  
that are refrigerator temperature.  
A. Thin, uneven portions of poultry may be shielded  
with aluminum foil during cooking. Do not allow  
foil to touch shelf or oven sides, arcing may occur.  
Q. Usually my temperature probe gives very  
accurate results, but this time it didn’t.  
What happened?  
Q. Do most meats require standing time after  
cooking with Combination Roast?  
A. If the temperature probe is positioned touching  
fat or bone, an inaccurate reading may result.  
Be sure to place the probe in solid muscle, usually  
the thickest, meatiest part of the roast or poultry,  
or in the center of a meat loaf or casserole.  
A. You may want to let meats stand briefly, to allow  
easier carving and serving. Most meat roasts  
continue to cook for a few minutes after removing  
from the oven.
