PREPARATION

• Defrost Frozen foods completely.
• Wash poultry and fish in cool water.
• Arrange small items in a single layer
in dish, avoid overlapping edges of
food.
• Place thick sections toward edge of
the dish.
• Use a rack in the dish to elevate meat
out of the juices.
• Use spices, seasonings as desired.
• Add salt after cooking if necessary.
• Aluminum foils can be used to cover
thin parts of meat or poultry wings
and legs to prevent overcooking.
• Foils should be applied toward the
end of cooking time.

CHECKING DONENESS
Beef: The color inside meat indicates
aloneness. Rare roast should be red
inside. Medium is pink and gray
indicates well done.
Pork: Cooked pork meat should be gray
with clear juice.
Poultry: Juices should be clear yellow
when cooked. Legs should move freely.
Fish and Seafood: Should be opaque
in color and flake easily.
To check internal temperature of various
meats and poultry, use a microwave or
conventional meat thermometer after
removing meat from the oven. Insert the
thermometer avoiding bone or fat. Lower
temperatures are found in the center of
the roast or in the muscle close to a large
bone. Never use a conventional meat
thermometer in the microwave oven.
Return undercooked food to oven for a
short period of time at the recommended
power level. Let stand as recommended
in chart. Cover roasts and whole poultry
during stand time.
