Directions for Cooking Tender Cuts of Meat by Microwave

For best results, select roasts that are uniform in shape.

Place meat on a microwave suitable rack in a rectangular dish. Beef rib roast should be placed cut-side down. Other bone-in roasts should be

l placed fat-side down. Boneless roasts should be placed fat-side up. Halfway through cooking turn roasts.

Meats can be shielded at the beginning of cooking or halfway through cooking. If you wish to shield at the beginning of cooking, remove foil halfway through the cooking time. Beef and pork rib roasts should be shielded by the bones. Foil should extend about 5 cm down from bones.

The shank, thin ends of boneless roasts should also be shielded.

Loosely cover baking dish with wax paper or paper towel to prevent splatter. If a large amount of juice accumulates in the bottom of the dish, drain occasionally. If desired, reserve for making gravy. Multiply the weight of the roast by the minimum recommended times per 500 g. Programme Power and Time.

After heating, check temperature using a meat thermometer. The thermometer should not touch bone or fat. If it does, the reading could be inaccurate. Lower temperatures are found in the centre of the roast and in the muscle close to a large bone, such as a pork loin centre rib roast. If the temperatures are low, return meat to the oven and cook a few more minutes at the recommended power level. DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN. Let stand, covered with foil, 10 to

15 minutes. During standing time the internal temperature equalises and the temperature rises 5°C to 10°C

Half hams should be shielded by wrapping an 8 cm wide strip of foil around the large end of the ham. Secure to the body of the ham with wooden toothpicks. Fold 3 cm over cut surface. For shank ham halves, shield shank bone by cupping it with foil. One third of the way through cooking, remove ham from oven and cut off skin. Turn fat-side up and reshield edges. If desired, glaze last 10 to

20 minutes of cooking.

Canned hams should be shielded on the top cut-edge with a 3 cm strip of foil. Wrap strip of foil around ham and secure to body of ham with wooden toothpicks. Fold 2 cm over cut surface. If desired, glaze last 10 to 20 minutes of cooking.
