Poultry

1. No

special

techniques

are

required.

Poultry

should

be

prepared

as with

conventional

cooking.

Season

if

desired.

2. Poultry

should

be

thoroughly

defrosted.

Remove

giblets

and

any

metal

clamps.

3. Prick

the

skin

and

brush

lightly

with

vegetable

oil

unless

the

poultry

is self-basting.

4. All

poultry

should

be placed

on

a microwave

roasting

rack

or a microwave-proof

plate

on

the

turntable.

5. Cook

according

to the

instructions

in the

Poultry

Cooking

Table

below.

Turn

over

halfway

through

the

cooking

time.

Because

of its shape,

poultry

has

a

tendency

to

cook

unevenly,

especially

in very

bony

parts.Turning

during

roasting

helps

to

cook

these

areas

evenly.

6. Let

stand

for 5-10

minutes

in oven

after

cooking

before

carving.

The

standing

time

is very

important,

as

it completes

the

cooking

process.

7. Make

sure

poultry

is thoroughly

cooked

before

eating.

Whole

poultry

is completely

cooked

when

the

juices

run

clear

from

the

inside

thigh

when

it is pierced

with

a sharp

knife.

Poultry

pieces

should

be

pierced

with

a sharp

knife

through

the

thickest

part

to ensure

that

the

juices

are

clear

and

the

flesh

is firm.
