0 For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a
shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the drip-
pings and allows the heat to circulate better.
0 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.
