COOKING GUIDE
The following guides will help you to
cook a variety of foods in the micro-
wave. Some foods are more suited for
microwave cooking than others. Times
will vary depending on the starting
temperature of the foods being
cooked.
GUIDE FOR COOKING
MEAT IN YOUR
MICROWAVE
• Place meat on a microwave-safe
roasting rack in a microwave-safe
dish.
• Start meat fat side down. Use nar
-
row strips of aluminum foil to shield
any bone tips or thin meat areas.
• Check the temperature in several
places before letting the meat stand
the recommended time.
Microwaved meats will be somewhat
different in texture than meats cooked
by traditional methods. Brushing
meats with a product such as Gravy
Master
®
will aid in “browned” appear-
ance and make finished product more
visually appealing.
• The following temperatures are re-
moval temperatures. The tempera-
ture of the food will rise during the
