[Small-Appliance-Cooking] using the microwave for precooked meats

[Smyth, Charlene R]

When I cook the cheeseburgers from Schwan Foods, I take the cheese off the patty and put the patty on a cookie sheet with their fries and cook all of it for 20 minutes at 400.  I lay the bun halves with the inside face down on top of my toaster oven and the heat from it thaws it out and toasts the bun a little.  I just assemble it all again when done.

Hi,

I have found that cooking as little as possible to be successful for precooked meats. I used to buy the Schwan's cheeseburgers. I would take the meat and cheese out of the roll, heat the roll just enough to thaw it, put the meat on a plate and heat about 15 seconds, turn it over and do it again with the cheese. Then, put it on the roll. I found that if you heat it altogether some part of it isn't right.

I think it takes a lot of practice and trial and error to cook meat correctly in a microwave. It is so easy to over cook and make the meat dry and stringy.

When I do a hotdog, I thaw it in the microwave, and then brown it up in my toaster oven. I like the skin to be  a little crunchy, almost burned, but not quite.

When I bring Steak home from a restaurant, I melt a little butter, cut the meat in bite sized pieces, coat each piece, and heat as little as possible. It is pretty yummy that way.

Bernice and the adorable LoLO.
