Cooking Meat in Your Microwave
Be sure to place prepared meats on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish.
Start cooking the meat fat side down and if necessary, use narrow strips of aluminum foil to
shield any bone tips or thin meat areas. After cooking, check the temperature in several places
before letting the meat stand the recommended time. Please note that the temperatures in
the following charts are temperatures at removal time; the temperature will rise during the
standing period.
