Meat

Now, with the help of your microwave oven, you can serve twice the meal in half the time. Best of all, you don’t have to remember to take the meat out of the freezer in the morning for an evening meal. Defrosting techniques and fast cooking eliminate all these meal-planning roadblocks.

Cooking meat: tips & techniques

l

l

l

Defrost meat completely before cooking. Trim off excess fat.

Place meat fat-side down on microwavable roast rack.

g Turn over halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.

l Arrange meat so thicker portions are toward outside of dish.

l Drain juices as they accumulate to minimize spattering and avoid undercooking bottom of meat.

lShield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to prevent overcooking. Keep foil at least one inch from oven walls, and do not cover more than one-third of the meat at any one time.

l

Cover meat with wax paper to prevent spattering.

Let meat stand covered with foil 10 to 15 minutes after removing from microwave oven. Internal tem- perature of meat may rise 5°F to 15°F during standing time.

Use oven cooking bags for less tender cuts of meat.
