Do not use large sheets of aluminum
foil because
they hinder cooking
and may cause arcing. You may use small pieces of foil to shield poultry
legs and
wings.
Keep all aluminum
foil at least 1 inch from the walls and door of the oven.
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.

for difference in individual tastes and preferences. The

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
food over helps to cook these areas
evenly.
6. Remove from oven,wrap
in foil,and
let stand for
5 -10 minutes before carving.The
standing
time is very
important,
since 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.

NOTES:
• The times listed above are only a guide. Allow for

times may also vary due to the shape, cut, and
composition of the food.
• If whole poultry is stuffed, the weight of the stuffed
bird should be used when calculating the cooking
time.
