Cook food for the minimum time recommended, then test for completeness of cooking. Wait until the standing time is over, as food continues to cook even when the microwave is turned off. As a general rule, the following meats are cooked when there is no pink meat and juices run clear. They should be cooked well done. All chicken and poultry Minced meats and minced products such as hamburgers and sausages Rolled roasts.
Fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.
Use leftovers within a day and avoid heating more than once. When reheating food in the microwave, use the same guidelines as recommended for cooking. Make sure food is very hot. Food should steam throughout and not just on the edges. Stir foods throughout reheating and leave to stand a few minutes.
