Cooking Charts
The charts can be used as a guide. Follow package or
recipe directions.
Cooking meat in your microwave
Be sure to place prepared meats on a microwave-safe
roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Start cooking the
meat fat side down and if necessary, use narrow strips of
aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin meat areas.
After cooking, check the temperature in several places
before letting the meat stand the recommended time.
Please note that the temperatures in the following charts
are temperatures at removal time; the temperature will
rise during the standing period.

Cooking poultry in your microwave
Be sure to place poultry on a microwave-safe roasting
rack in a microwave-safe dish. Cover poultry with wax
paper to prevent splattering. Use narrow strips of
aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin meat areas,
or areas that start to overcook. After cooking, check the
temperature in several places before letting the meat
stand the recommended time.

est portions toward the inside of dish. Cover with

Cook until juices run clear and meat near bone is
no longer pink. Let stand for 5-10 min.
Cooking eggs in your microwave
o Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard-
cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
o Always pierce yolk on whole eggs to keep them from
bursting.
o Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if
overcooked.
o Cooking scrambled eggs is safe.
Cooking vegetables in your microwave
o Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.
Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such
as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about
1/4cup of water.
o Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans,
etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.
o Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or
corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the
turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if
turned over halfway through cooking.
