- adrian_b 3y agoRoasting meat in a microwave oven (without water in a covered glass vessel) is a valid cooking method, which provides tasty meat in a perfectly reproducible way and in a shorter time than traditional cooking. Nevertheless, for good results it must be done at a low power (I use 440 W in a 1000 W oven) and a long time, e.g. 20 to 25 minutes for chicken, about 30 minutes for turkey and more for pork/beef. For organs, e.g. livers, hearts, gizzards, a somewhat shorter time is enough. When done for the first time, experiments are needed to determine the optimal power and time, which depend on the type of oven and on the amount and kind of meat. Once determined, the results will always be the same and the meat is very tasty, because it loses nothing, except a part of the water content (roasted meat has typically 2/3 of the weight of raw meat, due to water loss). The meat should be microwave-roasted after removing the bones, and preferably after being cut in bite-sized pieces, which will avoid too violent steam expulsions if the power level is set too high.
- bilekas 3y agoThis is an uncomfortable amount of information around microwave cooking meat for me..
- sigilis 3y agoIt’s a reasonable thing to try for someone who doesn’t know how to cook a steak and may have been expressly forbidden from using the stove. Plus he was twelve, definitely in the age range where such errors are the expected product of experimentation in an unfamiliar world.

- Two4 3y agoI'm shocked, I would never expect a microwave to make anything other than grey, chewy meat
- lupusreal 3y agoPeople get unreasonably squeemish about microwaves. There's nothing wrong with them. Frozen TV dinners suck but that's something different.
