with conventional cooking.
◆ Always thoroughly defrost meat before cooking (season if desired).
◆ Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack or microwave-proof
plate and place on the turntable.

time for large cuts of meats and shorter time for small cuts of meats.
For thicker chops, use longer time.
