Tips
Braised and stewed meat cooked in a
microwave has a slightly firm texture and
therefore it is essential to purchase good
quality meats.
When cooking a casserole, place a saucer or
small upturned plate over the meat to keep it
submerged in the juices.
Crispy bacon - place on a microwave safe
rack (optional extra obtainable from cookware
shops). Cover with a plain piece of kitchen
towel to minimise splatter. Cook on HIGH
power for approx. 45 secs. per rasher, or until
desired crispness is achieved.
How to roast a joint by microwave
To roast basic joints of meat place the joint
onto the rack of a microwave roasting set and
cover with a dome lid. Alterna tive ly use a
large, shallow dish and place the joint on an
up turned saucer and cover with cling film.
Roasting bags
Roasting bags are useful when split up one
side to tent a joint for roasting by power and
time.
Do not use the metal twists supplied.
How to cook small cuts of meat by
microwave

successfully by micro wave although due to
