the rack of a microwave roasting set and cover
with a dome lid. Alterna tive ly use a large,
shallow dish and place the joint on an up turned

STANDING and the meat will continue to cook
during the STAND TIME.
Bone

may need shielding when cooked by
microwave, to prevent overcooking.
How to cook small cuts of meat by
microwave
Some cuts of meat can be cooked
successfully by micro wave although due to
their short cooking times and no heat source,
they will not crisp and brown.
They should always be cooked on a
microwave rack to lift them out of their juices.
Turning
Joints and poultry should be turned over
halfway through cooking.
Shielding
Large joints may need shielding with pieces of

edges. Turkeys and large chickens should
have their breast meat, legs and wings
protected. Secure foil with cocktail sticks and
do not allow foil to touch the walls of the oven.
