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
eating. 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.
