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 cook- ing.

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 in oven 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.

NOTE: The times listed above are only a guide. Allow

for difference in individual tastes and preferences. The times may also vary due to the shape, cut, and compo- sition of the food.

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-proof plate 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 during roasting helps to cook these areas evenly.

6.Let stand for 5-10 minutes in oven after cooking before carving. The standing time is very important, as it completes the cooking process.

7.Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before eating. Whole poultry is completely cooked when the juices run clear from the inside thigh when it is pierced with a sharp knife. Poultry pieces should be pierced with a sharp knife through the thickest part to ensure that the juices are clear and the flesh is firm.
