Roast Mode
COMFORTING, YET SOPHISTICATED DISHES
Roasting, and its close relative: braising, is the long game of fl avor
development. While Convection Roast Mode crisps the outside of
foods more e ciently due to the fans, regular Roast Mode uses
radiant heat to convert tougher foods into delightfully succulent
mouthfuls without overbrowning.

INSIDE YOUR OVEN
The top broil element produces most
of the heat, with some help from the
bottom bake element.
INGREDIENTS
– 1 (5–6 pound) trimmed
bone-in leg of lamb
– 4 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 tablespoon chopped
fresh rosemary

fresh thyme leaves

Roasted Leg
of
Lamb
Roast Mode is ideal for meats that require rendering, such as this showstopping leg of lamb.
The rendered fat creates a fl avorful crust. Roast Mode protects the exterior from overbrowning
while the interior cooks and stays moist.
PREPARATION METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 350°F Roast Mode with a rack at position “3.” 2. Pat lamb
dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, score the fatty side of the lamb,
making shallow cuts all over. Place lamb fatty side up on a rack in a roasting
pan. 3. In a small bowl, combine garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, Dijon
mustard, salt, and pepper. Spread mixture evenly over lamb, thoroughly
rubbing into scored cuts. 4. Using the temperature probe, roast until lamb
reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium doneness, about 1 hour
30 minutes, or until desired doneness. 5. Rest 15 minutes before slicing.
