microwave-proof plate and place on the turntable.

Turn the meat once halfway through the cooking
time.

No special techniques are required. Poultry
should be prepared as with conventional
cooking. Season if desired.
Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove
giblets and any metal clamps.
Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil
unless the poultry is self-basting.
All poultry should be placed on a microwave
roasting rack or a microwave-proof plate and
placed on the turntable.
Cook according to the instructions in the Poultry
Cooking Table below. Turn over halfway through
the cooking time. Because of its shape, poultry
has a tendency to cook unevenly, especially in
very bony parts. Turning during roasting helps to
cook these areas evenly.
Let stand for 5-10 minutes in oven after cooking
before carving. The standing time is very
important, as it completes the cooking process.
Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before
eating. Whole poultry is completely cooked when
the juices run clear from the inside thigh when
it is pierced with a sharp knife. Poultry pieces
should be pierced with a sharp knife through the
thickest part to ensure that the juices are clear
and the flesh is firm.
