Guide for Cooking Meat in Your Microwave

•Place meat on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish.

•Start meat fat-side down. Use narrow strips of aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin meat areas.

•The following temperatures are removal temperatures. The temperature of the food will rise during the standing time.

•Cover poultry with wax paper to prevent spattering.

•Use aluminum foil to shield bone tips, thin meat areas, or areas that start to overcook.

•Check the temperature in several places before letting the poultry stand the recommended time.

Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave

•Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.

•Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

•Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.

Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave

•Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup water.

•Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.

•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 after half the cooking time.

•Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.

•When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.

•Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.

•For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time.

•Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.
