Meat and Poultry
Place the meat on the grill rack, which in turn
is placed on the glass tray. Use a heat-
resistant plate to collect the fat or juices which
may splatter.
How do I cook small pieces of meat with the grill or combination cooking?
DEFROSTED ROASTS
If the meat has been frozen, make sure that it
has been correctly defrosted before cooking
with a microwave oven. You should let the
defrosted roasts stand for 30 minutes
minimum before cooking, in order to be sure
that the core of the meat is completely
defrosted.
FAT
The surplus fat absorbs microwave energy and
may lead to overcooking of the meat
underneath. Always choose meats which are
not too fatty.
How do I cook a roast with a
microwave oven?
To cook an ordinary roast, you can simply
place it on the rack of a microwave roasting
unit and cover it with a dome-shaped cover.
You can also use a large hollow dish and place
the roast on an upside-down dish before
covering it with cling film or grease-proof
paper.
STANDING TIME
After cooking, you must cover the meat and
the poultry again with aluminium foil and
LEAVE TO STAND for at least 15 minutes.
Once left to stand, the roast meat may be cut
more easily. Furthermore, it continues to cook
during the STANDING TIME.
Bones
When you cook a roast or a leg of mutton in
your microwave oven, you must sometimes
cover the end of the bone in order to avoid it
cooking excessively.
How do I cook small pieces of meat in
a microwave oven?
Certain pieces of meat can be easily prepared
in a microwave oven, but the reduction in
cooking time and the absence of a source of
heat stops them from being crisp and brown.
You must always cook pieces of meat on a
microwave rack in order to avoid them soaking
in their juice.
TURNING
Roasts and poultry must be turned halfway
during cooking.
PROTECTION
Thick roasts must sometimes be re-covered
with a thin aluminium foil halfway during
cooking in order to avoid excessive cooking of
the edges. In the case of a turkey or a large
chicken, you must re-cover the breast, the legs
and the wings. Place the aluminium foil with
sticks and make sure it does not touch the
oven walls.
How do I cook large pieces of meat
with combination cooking?
Place the pieces on the heat-resistant plate.
In order to obtain perfect cooking, it is
preferable to cook the roast only using the
microwave mode, then using combination
cooking to brown and to make it crispy. DO
NOT COVER.
