necessary. Cover it with a lid or plastic wrap. Do not cover
completely to let steam come out. The moist heat created will
destroy harmful bacteria.
2. Better to cook large cuts of meat on medium power for longer
periods than on high power. Heat reaches the center without
overcooking outer areas.

Important because it eliminate cold spots where harmful bacteria
can survive and for more even cooking.

cooking on the grill or in a conventional oven, it is important to
transfer the microwaved food to the other heat source immediately.
Never partially cook food and store it for later use.
5.Use a food thermometer or the oven’s temperature probe to verify
the food has reached a safe minimum internal temperature. Cooking
times may vary because ovens vary in power and efficiency. Always
allow standing time, which completes the cooking, before checking
the internal temperature with a food thermometer.

16. MICROWAVE DEFROSTING
1. Remove food from the package before defrosting. Do not
use foam trays and plastic wraps because they are not
heat stable at high temperatures. Melting or warping may
cause harmful chemicals to migrate into food.

about ten minutes with an automatic cycle that raises water
