COOKING TIPS

Meat

1.No special techniques are required. Meat should be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if desired. Always thoroughly defrost meat before cooking.

2.Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack or microwave-proof plate and place on the turntable.

3.Cook according to the Meat Cooking Table (below). Use the longer time for large cuts of meats and the shorter time for small cuts of meats. For thicker chops, use the longer time.

4.Turn the meat once halfway through the cooking time.

5.Let stand for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after cooking. The standing time is very important as it completes the cooking process.

6.Make sure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly cooked before eating.

Poultry

1.No special techniques are required. Poultry should

be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if desired.

2.Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove giblets and any metal clamps.

3.Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil unless the poultry is self-basting.

4.	All poultry should be placed on a microwave roasting
	rack or a microwave-proofplate and placed on the
	turntable.
5.	Cook according to the instructions in the Poultry
	Cooking Table below. Turn over halfway through the
	cooking time. Because of its shape, poultry has a
	tendency to cook unevenly, especially in very bony
	parts.Turning food over helps to cook these areas
	evenly.
6.	Remove from oven,wrap in foil,and let stand for
	5 -10minutes before carving.The standing time is very
	important, since it completes the cooking process.
7.	Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before eating.
