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

[Lighthouse]

Slow but sure. A little at a time, with turning a lot of turning and testing. I make burgers for my grandchildren from a frozen patty I made. I do 30 seconds, turn, 30 seconds, and if need be another short time. It gets done quickly.

How do you find meat in the grocery store that is not raw?  I have no trouble cooking raw chopmeat in the microwave.  I haven’t cooked other kinds of meat except hotdogs.  Pam.

Yes, but if you are starting with the meat from a Raw state, it can be even harder to cook it in the microwave. When I buy meat at the grocery store, I will buy meat that is rare or undercooked so that when I heated up in the microwave, it will not be to dry.

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.
