Please note that the temperatures in the following charts are temperatures at removal time; the temperature will rise during the standing period.
Meat: Roast beef boneless (up to 4 lbs.)
Meat: Roast pork boneless or bone-in (up to 4 lbs.)
* Expect a 10° F rise in the temperature during the standing period.

Be sure to place poultry on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Cover poultry with wax paper to prevent splattering. Use narrow strips of aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin meat areas, or areas that start to overcook. After cooking, check the temperature in several places before letting the meat stand the recommended time.
Poultry: Whole chicken (up to 4 lbs.)
Poultry: Chicken pieces (up to 4 lbs.)
