Notes:
Power and cooking time combinations necessary to devitalize trichinae in pork roasts were determined using three power levels in each of two microwave ovens. The combinations obtained for an oven listed as producing 700 watts were: 100% power, 19.8 min/kg; 70%, 24.2 min/kg; and 30%. 55.0 min/kg. Those for a listed 625 watt oven were: 100% power, 24.2 min/kg; 70%, 26.4 min/kg; and 30%, 55.0 min/kg. Inadequate doneness in many roasts cooked with the safe combinations would necessitate additional cooking time before procedures could be recommended. Post-cooking temperatures during a 20-min standing period may either increase or decrease with no predictability.
