Basic Microwave cooking tips

I recommend purchasing a kitchen scale if you do not already have one. Most foods cook till done at 6 minutes per pound. Exceptions are:

Fish/seafood—3 min. per pound
Whole chicken or turkey—7 ½ minutes per pound
Chicken pieces like breast or wings follow the 6 minutes per pound rule.
Ground meat—5 minutes per pound.

Standing time after cooking—20% additional time. Example if something cooks for 10 minutes-standing time is 2 minutes.
