Poultry - Panasonic NN-CD989S Cookbook

DIRECTIONS FOR ROASTING POULTRY BY COMBINATION
Wash poultry and pat dry. Whole poultry may be
roasted stuffed or unstuffed. Tie the legs together
with cotton string. Close openings with wooden tooth
picks or cotton thread. Season as desired, but salt
after cooking.
Place poultry on a microwaveable, heat-safe rack in
a shallow dish. Shield leg ends and wings with small
pieces of aluminum foil. Birds over 2 lbs (1 kg)
should be turned over halfway through cooking.
Turkey and chicken should be basted several times
during roasting. Excess liquid may be removed
during roasting. Cornish hens may be brushed with a
glaze if desired.
Duck should have the skin pierced liberally all over to
allow the grease to drain during cooking. Drain juice
once or twice during cooking.
Place the dish on the Ceramic Tray.

To Microwave: Multiply the ready-to-cook weight of
the poultry by the minimum recommended cooking
time.
To Cook by Convection Cooking: Press the Auto
Convection Button once (Chicken Pieces) or twice
(Whole Chicken) and enter the weight.
After cooking, let stand, tented with foil,
10 - 15 minutes. This stand time allows for easier
carving. During stand time, test for doneness. Small
poultry is cooked when juices run clear and the
drumsticks readily move up and down. Large poultry
should be checked with an instant read thermometer
inserted in the meaty part of both thighs.
If thermometer touches bone, the reading may be
inaccurate. DO NOT use a Conventional or
Microwave thermometer in the oven when
cooking by Combination. If the poultry is
undercooked, cook a few more minutes at the
recommended Combination Setting.
