Cooking Tips - LG LTRM1240SW Owner's Manual

WARNING:
Do not use large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking
and may cause arcing. You may use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and
wings. Keep all aluminum foil at least I inch from the walls and door of the oven.
COOKING TIPS
Meat
1. No special techniques are required. Meat should be
prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if
desired. Always thoroughly defrost meat before
cooking.
2. Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack or
microwave-proof plate and place on the turntable.
3. Cook according to the Meat Cooking Table (below).
Use the longer time for large cuts of meats and the
shorter time for small cuts of meats. For thicker
chops, use the longer time.
4. Turn the meat over once halfway through the
cooking time.
5. After cook time has finished, allow for 5~10 minutes
of standing time to complete the cooking process. If
you remove meat for standing time, wrap it in foil.
6. Make sure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly
cooked before eating.

composition of the food.
Poultry
1. No special techniques are required. Poultry should
be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if
desired.
2. Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove
giblets and any metal clamps.
3. Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil
unless the poultry is self-basting.
4. All poultry should be placed on a microwave roasting
rack or a microwave-proof plate and placed on the
turntable.
5. 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 food over helps to cook these areas
evenly.
6. After cook time has finished, allow for 5~10 minutes
of standing time to complete the cooking process. If
you remove poultry for standing time, wrap it in foil.
7. 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.

time.
