Cooking Meat and Poultry: Tips & Techniques
• Be sure meat and poultry is completely defrosted before cooking. Trim off excess fat.
• Place meat, fat side down, on a microwave roasting rack in a microwave-safe baking dish.
• Arrange meat and poultry so thicker portions face the outside of the baking dish.
• Drain juices as they accumulate in the dish. Save for making gravy.
• Shield thin or bony portions with strips of aluminum foil molded to the meat to prevent overcooking.
Be sure to keep foil at least 1 inch from oven walls.
• Cover meat lightly with waxed paper to stop spatters.
• Let meat stand, covered with foil 10 to 15 minutes, after removing from the oven. During standing
time the internal temperature of the meat will rise approximately 5°F-15°F. Standing time is an
important part of the total time required to complete cooking.
