Cooking Whole Poultry by Micro Power

Poultry

Season as desired, but salt after cooking. Browning sauce mixed with equal parts of butter will enhance the appearance.

Poultry may be stuffed or unstuffed. Tie legs together with cotton string. Place on a 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 equalize 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 juices for making gravy.

Less-tender birds should be cooked in liquid such as soup or broth. Use 1⁄4 cup per 500g of poultry.

Use an oven cooking bag or a covered casserole. Select a covered casserole deep enough so that bird does not touch the lid.

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 on top of bag.

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

After cooking, check the internal temperature of the bird with a microwave or conventional meat thermometer inserted into the 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 after standing time.

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

Panasonic has long been a reputable name in kitchen appliances, and its line of microwave ovens is no exception. The Panasonic NN-S215 and NN-S235 models are notable for their combination of advanced technology, user-friendly features, and reliability.

The NN-S215 is a 1.2 cubic feet countertop microwave that operates at 1200 watts. It incorporates Inverter Technology, a standout feature that delivers consistent and even cooking results. Unlike traditional microwaves that use a pulsing mechanism to reduce power, Inverter Technology provides a steady stream of power, ensuring that food is cooked uniformly without hot spots. This results in better texture and flavor, especially for delicate foods like fish or sauces.

The NN-S215 also offers a variety of power levels, allowing users to customize their cooking experience. It includes one-touch sensor cooking and reheating features that automatically calculate cooking times based on the food type and weight. The microwave has convenient preset buttons for quick access to popular cooking options like popcorn, veggies, and entrees, making meal preparation more efficient.

Similarly, the NN-S235 model features the same capacity and inverter technology, but with added convenience. It comes equipped with a sleek, modern design that seamlessly fits into any kitchen decor. With a stainless-steel finish, this microwave also features a 4-digit display and an easy-to-use control panel.

Both models emphasize safety with a child lock feature that prevents unintentional usage. This is particularly important for households with young children, ensuring peace of mind for parents.

Additionally, the NN-S235 enhances the cooking experience by providing a Keep Warm feature that maintains food at ideal serving temperatures without further cooking it. The presence of a quick minute option allows users to add a minute of cooking time with a single press, further simplifying the cooking process.

In terms of energy efficiency, both models are designed to minimize electricity usage while maximizing performance. Their smart sensor technology optimizes cooking times and power levels, adding to their eco-friendliness.

Overall, the Panasonic NN-S215 and NN-S235 microwaves encapsulate a blend of advanced cooking technology, ease of use, and stylish design, making them excellent additions to any kitchen. Whether cooking, reheating, or defrosting, these microwaves deliver reliable and delicious results.
