COOKING POULTRY

Place the poultry on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish and cover with wax paper to prevent spattering. Use aluminum foil to shield the bone tips, thin pieces of meat, or areas that may start to overcook. Check the temperature in several places before letting the poultry stand the recommended time.

COOKING EGGS

You can use your microwave oven to cook eggs. Cook them until they are just set as they become tough if they are overcooked.

Never cook eggs in their shells and never warm WARNING up hard-boiled eggs in their shells. Eggs cooked or warmed up in their shells can explode. Always

pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

04 COOKING GUIDE

COOKING VEGETABLES

Vegetables should be washed prior to cooking. Usually, no extra water is needed. When cooking dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and green beans, add about ¼ cup water.

Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.

Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash, or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over halfway through the cooking process.

Always place vegetables such as asparagus and broccoli with the stems pointing towards the edge of the dish and
