Meats can be shielded at the beginning of cooking
or halfway through cooking. If you wish to shield at
the beginning of cooking, remove foil halfway
through the cooking time. Beef and pork rib roasts
should be shielded by the bones. Foil should extend
about 5 cm down from bones.
The shank, thin ends of boneless roasts should also
be shielded.

Directions for Cooking Tender Cuts of Meat by Microwave
After heating, check temperature using a meat
thermometer. The thermometer should not touch
bone or fat. If it does, the reading could be
inaccurate. Lower temperatures are found in the
centre of the roast and in the muscle close to a
large bone, such as a pork loin centre rib roast. If
the temperatures are low, return meat to the oven
and cook a few more minutes at the recommended
power level. DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL
MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE

15 minutes. During standing time the internal
temperature equalises and the temperature rises

Half hams should be shielded by wrapping an 8 cm
wide strip of foil around the large end of the ham.
Secure to the body of the ham with wooden
toothpicks. Fold 3 cm over cut surface. For shank
ham halves, shield shank bone by cupping it with
foil. One third of the way through cooking, remove
ham from oven and cut off skin. Turn fat-side up and
reshield edges. If desired, glaze last 10 to
20 minutes of cooking.
