How do I safely cook foods in the microwave?

Debone large pieces of meat.
Arrange food items uniformly in a covered dish and add a little liquid.
Cook large pieces of meat on medium power (50%) for longer times.
Stir or rotate food once or twice during microwaving.
Do not microwave whole, stuffed poultry.
Never partially cook food. When microwaving food partly done, to finish cooking on the grill or conventional oven, transfer the microwaved food to another heat source immediately.
Use a meat thermometer or the oven's temperature probe to verify the food has reached a safe temperature. Red meat should be 160 °F and poultry should be 180 °F.
