Guide for Cooking Meats
Roasts, chops, hamburgers and small cuts of tender meat cook beautifully in the microwave oven. Most roasts can be cooked
rare, medium rare or even well done in less than one hour. Less tender cuts of meat such as pot roast can be simmered fork
tender in a sauce or gravy. Tough cuts that require slow cooking will do better in the conventional range or oven. A large piece
of meat, especially if the shape is uneven, should be turned over occasionally for uniform roasting.
