Poultry

Directions for Cooking Whole Poultry by Microwave

Cooking

Season as desired, but salt after cooking. Browning sauce (e.g. soy, Worcestershire) mixed with equal parts of butter will enhance the appearance.

Poultry may be stuffed or unstuffed. Tie legs together with cotton string. Place on microwave rack set in a rectangular dish. Place poultry breast-side down: turn over halfway through cooking. Cover with wax paper to prevent splattering.

If the poultry is not cooked enough return it to the oven and cook a few more minutes at the recommended power level.

DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN. Let stand, covered with foil, 10 to 15 minutes after cooking. Standing time allows the temperature to equalise throughout the food and finishes the cooking process.

If a large amount of juice accumulates in the bottom of the baking dish occasionally drain it. If desired, reserve for making gravy.

Less-tender birds should be cooked in liquid such as soup or broth. Use 1/4 cup per 500 g of poultry. Use an oven cooking bag or covered casserole. Select a covered casserole dish deep enough so that bird does not touch the lid.

After cooking, check the internal temperature of the bird with a microwave or conventional meat thermometer, inserted into the thigh muscle. Check temperature in both muscles. The thermometer should not touch bone. If it does, the reading could be inaccurate. A thermometer cannot be accurately inserted into a small bird. To check desired cooking of a small bird, juices should be clear and the drumsticks should readily move up and down.

During cooking it may be necessary to shield legs, wings and the breast bone to prevent overcooking. Wooden toothpicks can be used to hold foil in place.

Cooking Guide

If an oven cooking bag is used, prepare according to package directions. Do not use wire twist-ties to close bag. Use only nylon tie, a piece of cotton string, or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make six 2 cm slits in top of bag.

Multiply the weight of the poultry by the minimum recommended minutes per 500 g. Programme Power and Time.
