Guidelines

DEFROSTED JOINTS

If the meat has previously been frozen, ensure it is properly thawed before cooking by microwave. Defrosted joints of meat must be allowed to STAND for a minimum of 60 mins. before cooking to ensure the centre is fully defrosted.

FAT

Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and can cause the meat next to it to overcook. Always choose joints that aren’t excessively fatty.

How to roast a joint by microwave

To roast basic joints of meat place the joint onto the rack of a microwave roasting set and cover with a dome lid. Alternatively use a large, shallow dish and place the joint on an upturned saucer and cover with cling film.

STANDING TIME

Meat and poultry require a minimum of 15 mins. STANDING TIME wrapped in aluminium foil after cooking by microwave. Roast meat is always easier to carve after STANDING and the meat will continue to cook during the STAND TIME.

BONE

Bone tips on legs of lamb and crown roasts 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 microwave 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 smooth aluminium foil after half the cooking time to avoid overcooking on the outside 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.

ROASTING BAGS

Roasting bags are useful when split up one side to tent a joint for roasting by power and time.

Do not use the metal twists supplied.

TIPS

Braised and stewed meat cooked in a microwave has a slightly firm texture and therefore it is essential to purchase good quality meats.

When cooking a casserole, place a saucer or small upturned plate over the meat to keep it submerged in the juices.

Crispy Bacon - place on a microwave safe rack (optional extra obtainable from cookware shops). Cover with a plain piece of kitchen towel to minimise splatter. Cook on HIGH power for approx. 45 secs. per rasher, or until desired crispness is achieved.
