MEATS

Tender cuts of meat do well in the microwave, especially when cooked at lower power levels. Be sure meat is fully defrosted before cooking. Consult the meat cooking charts (pages 30-32) for details.

The exact time to cook each piece of meat will depend on the shape of the meat, the weight, the starting temperature of the meat and the desired doneness. Our timings assume the meat is taken from the proper storage (refrigerated). The lower number in the time

range reflects time suggested for medium meat; the higher number for well done. It is always possible to add time if needed, so it is best to start with the lower number for calculating the time.

Stand time after cooking is an important aspect of microwave cooking since more cooking will take place then. The residual heat in the food will equalize and finish the cooking process. Always check for doneness after the stand time.
