No special techniques are required:
Poultry should be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if desired.
Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove giblets and any metal clamps.
Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil (unless the poultry is self basting).
All poultry should be placed in a microwave safe dish with lid and placed on the
turntable.
Cook according to the instructions in the poultry cooking recommendations below.
Turn whole chicken or Cornish hen over halfway through the cooking time. Because
of its shape, poultry has a tendency to cook unevenly, especially in very bony parts.
Periodic turning helps to cook these areas evenly.
Let stand for 5 10 minutes. The standing time is very important, as it completes the
cooking process.
Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before eating. Whole poultry is completely
cooked when the juices run clear. Pierce with a sharp knife through the thickest part
to ensure that the juices are clear and the flesh is firm.
Note: The times listed above are only a guide. Allow for differences in individual
tastes and preferences. The 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.

Weights given in the chart for fresh vegetables are the purchase weight after peeling
and trimming. Cut, slice or trim as directed in the chart. Place vegetables in a
casserole. Add amount of water recommended in the chart. Add salt after cooking.
Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, should be pierced with a fork several times
before cooking. Arrange on a microwave safe dish in the oven. Arrange potatoes in
a circular pattern on the dish. Cook potatoes uncovered.
Cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Cook according to the recommended time in the
chart.
After cooking, stir vegetables. Let stand, covered, before serving. Vegetables that
are cut into pieces should stand 3 minutes. Whole vegetables should stand
5 minutes.
