need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag
so steam can escape.

cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.

about microwavE cooKing
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and
add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions:
paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry
to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if
possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods
as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at
least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top
to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible.
Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without
overcooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures
have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
-
Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
-
Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
-
Poultry thigh joints move easily.
-
Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
-
Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
