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 Chart
(below). Use the longer time for large meats and
the shorter time for smaller meats. For thicker
chops, use the longer time.
4. Turn the meat once halfway through the cooking
time.
5. Let stand for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after
cooking. The standing time is very important as it
completes the cooking process.
6. Make sure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly
cooked before eating.

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 Chart 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.
6. Let stand for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after
cooking before carving. The standing time is very
important, as it completes the cooking process.
7. Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before eat-
ing. 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.
