COOKING MEAT & POULTRY: TIPS & TECHNIQUES

l Be sure meat and poultry is completely defrosted before cooking. Trim off excess fat.

l Place meat, fat side down, on a microwave roasting rack in a microwave-safe baking dish. l Arrange meat and poultry so thicker portions face the outside of the baking dish.

. Drain juices as they accumulate in the dish. Save for making gravy.

l Shield thin or bony portions with strips of aluminium foil molded to the meat to prevent overcooking. Be sure to keep foil at least 1 inch from oven walls.

l Cover meat lightly with waxed paper to stop spatters.

lLet meat stand, covered with foil 10 to 15 minutes, after removing from the oven. During standing time the internal temperature of the meat will rise approximately 5°F.-150F. Standing time is an important part of the total time required to complete cooking
