POULTRY
Guide
for Cooking Poultry
Chicken
is one of the most popular foods
and microwaving chicken is one of the
best uses
of your
microwave
oven. Chicken
stays
juicy
and tender in the
microwave oven.
However,
juiciness
prevents
browning because chicken crisps and browns only when the
skin dries out enough
to
change
color.
Standing time is important, because it allows the interior to finish cooking without toughening the delicate
breast meat.

SEAFOOD
Guide
for Cooking
Seafood
Microwaving is one of the easiest and most efficient ways of preparing fish
and seafood, which
stay
delicate and tender
with quick, moist cooking. Overcooking dries out and toughens seafood, so
you
should check it after the minimum time.
lf thick pieces like fish steaks
or
lobster tails are done on the
outside, but still slightly translucent in the middle, let them stand for a few
minutes; intemal heat
will
complete the cooking.
