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.

Turning
Turn foods over midway through the cooking cycle
to expose all parts to the microwave energy. This is
especially important with large items such as roasts.
Standing
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and
continue to cook for a few minutes after the oven stops.
Let foods stand to complete the cooking process, especially
foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this
time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking
the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate
should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let
liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby
food, stir well and test the temperature before serving.
Adding moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food
that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or
allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add
a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
Venting
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, vent the plastic
wrap by turning back one corner to let excess steam
escape.
COOKING MEAT
Place the meat fat side down on a microwave-safe
roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Use narrow
strips of aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin
pieces of meat. Check the temperature in several places
before letting the meat stand the recommended time.
The following temperatures are the removal
temperatures. The temperature of the food will rise
during standing time.
