Poultry

The cooking times given are only a recommendation and depend on the temperature of the food before
roasting. For precise control use the meat probe. Do not insert the tip of the meat probe in the middle
(hollow) but between the belly and the thigh. Refer to the chapter “Meat Probe” for further tips and the
temperature table.
•
Season poultry with spices and only little or no oil to get a crispy skin.
