Poultry

Always use microwave-safe ceramic, glass, or plastic utensils.

Place poultry on microwave-safe roasting rack in microwave-safe cooking dish.

Cover poultry with wax paper to prevent spattering.

Shield bone tips, thin areas or portions that start to overcook with 3 inch wide strips or foil.

Check temperatures, in several places, before recommended stand time.
