Cooking Tips: Defrosting in the microwave, turn half way through. Cooking in the microwave, turn after a few minutes where possible. Cooking in a oven, also turn where possible to get the heat even through the food. Prick roast kumara and potato with a fork to allow moisture to escape as it heat. Where needed drain off excess liquid.
