MEATS

Guide for Cooking Meats

Roasts, chops, hamburgers and small cuts of tender meat cook beautifully in the microwave oven. Most roasts can be cooked rare, medium rare or even well done in less than one hour. Less tender cuts of meat such as pot roast can be simmered fork tender in a sauce or gravy. Tough cuts that require slow cooking will do better in the conventional range or oven. A large piece of meat, especially if the shape is uneven, should be turned over occasionally for uniform roasting.
