POULTRY

1.No special techniques are required. The poultry should be prepared as for any other conventional method. Season if desired.

2.Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted, ensuring giblets and any metal clamps are removed.

3.Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil unless 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 cooking chart (below), turning the bird over halfway through the cooking time. Poultry, because of its shape, has a tendency to cook unevenly, especially in very bony parts. Turning the bird during roasting helps to cook these areas evenly.

6.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.Ensure 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 portions should be pierced with a sharp knife through the thickest part to ensure that the juices are clear and the flesh is firm.
