NOTE: The times listed above are only a guide. Allow for difference

stuffed, the weight of the stuffed bird should be used when
calculating the cooking time.
POULTRY
◆ No special techniques are required. Poultry should be prepared
as with conventional cooking (season if desired).
◆ Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove giblets and any
metal clamps.
◆ Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil unless the
poultry is self-basing.
◆ All poultry should be placed on a Microwave roasting rack or a
Microwave-proof plate and placed on the Glass Turntable.
◆ Cook according to the instructions in the Poultry Cooking Table
below. Turn over halfway though the cooking time. Because of its
shape, poultry has a tendency to cook unevenly, especially in very
bony parts. Turning over during roasting helps to cook these
areas evenly.
◆ Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked when the juices run clear
from the insidethigh. Pierced with a sharp knife through the
thickest part to ensure that the juices are clear and the flesh is firm.
