Just a tip with cooking or re-heating in the microwave. Double the cook time but turn the power to %50 power. I don't cook things in the microwave but will re-heat some types of leftovers if needed. Makes a big difference for chewiness, uneven hot spots and overheating too fast.

To be fair, it is a hard spot to be in for this college kid, and I'm glad Guga covered this. I once had a stint where I lived in a tiny home (a slightly modified pool house) for about 6-9 months. My only method of cooking, due to limited power and space, was a single 6-Qt Presto multicooker. When you're unable to do anything else, live miles away from any form of store, and don't have a car (I did not at the time), ideas like this, while not ideal, can be game changers. Sure, this is a bit different, but not all that much. I'd have loved more ways to enjoy food than the ones you most often find which expect an entire kitchen with standard equipment, if not specialty equipment too.

[@altacus]

My thoughts exactly. Brine the brisket and also set the microwave power lower until the very end.

[@bryant8307]

if you're brining a brisket for days it kind of takes the point of microwaving away doesn't it? it seems weird to baste with beef tallow after a multi-day brine just to throw it in the microwave.

[@kasuraga]

@@bryant8307 all that preparation and then you throw it in a MICROWAVE hahahaha You're better off doing it the way he showed, except i would use a lower power level and increase the cook time. Also, microwaves do NOT cook by heating up water. That's a MYTH. if that were true, solid dry objects would NOT heat up in a microwave since they have no water content. you can easily cook things beyond 212 degrees in a microwave. throw a dry towel into a microwave. It'll get so hot itll burst into flames.

[@bolo2393]

@@bryant8307 not really if that's what you have available why not do it as well as possible. And any pit master will tell you not to cut into the meat until it has rested, and in most cases let it rest as long as it cooked. Most people will smoke a brisket for hours and then wrap it and let it rest in a cooler for hours. Just because it's microwave cooked doesn't mean you can't figure out how to maximize the potential.

[@ZeMarkKrazee]

As others have mentioned: a lower power setting, especially for the beginning and middle, will improve your outcomes. You should also use a smaller cut of meat that is thinner. A smaller cut of meat that can actually rotate will improve consistency of heating throughout the meat. Depending on your microwave and how dry the meat is, some microwaves have a metal bracket you can put inside the microwave above the food and put a bowl of water to help increase the amount of steam in the air. Having longer periods of rest more frequently will also help.

[@artyomshegeda]

Nonsense! You cannot get good steak with steam. You cannot get good steak with low power. Technology you suggested is low-temperature cooking.

[@brutusmaximus5380]

If you can maintain the heat in the brisket to about 195F to 208F for 15 to 20 minutes and let it rest for an hour, you may get better results.

I don’t own a micro (any more😅), but I do understand well how it works. The closed chamber of the micro is an advantage that can work in your favor in this case, in terms of keeping moist and reducing the gross cooking time. I think you should try liquid smoke as part of the rub/brine, get a bark in 30m of highest setting like we saw happening, and then go really longer on a much lower setting. How longer? Donno, how low a setting? donno - you will need to experiment with your particular microwave. Consider that you want that internal temp that will allow proteins to untangle and tenderize and that it does take time. You can even consider - one tender - give a finish of 5min on the high again, or use a small hand torch. I do not expect it to beat the smoker or the grill, but to notch up the tenderness.

[@jacobscott2473]

I really respect how honest you are about this experiment! Especially the consideration of others who are less fortunate in the meat tenderising product side of things. Not sure what power setting you had your microwave one, but if you used lower power for longer, you might be able to avoid the rubbery-ness that microwave cooking can give meat. It will still penetrate the meat in the same way, regardless of power. The time and power is also perfect in the sense of if you used half the power of the the original setting, you could expect to cook it for twice as long. It's not actually exact, but it's so close that it might as well be for most applications. This is because microwave energy excites water particles based on the energy of the microwaves, so a more powerful setting will excite the mater molecules a lot more in a shorter time, cooking the meat very quickly, but also making it less tender. This is also why eggs that haven't had a hole poked in them will explode, they tend to explode less on lower settings. " I am a big nerd for microwaves, mainly from trying to get my frozen leftovers to taste as close to the original meal as possible. The latest microwave that I purchased has very extensive cooking instructions for all sorts of food, from veggies and pasta, to scrambled eggs and sauces; it has recommended time, power, ingredient weights and procedure. Basically what I'm saying is that microwaves don't deserve the horrible reputation that they have as most people are just nuking delicate things on the highest setting without thinking about how the appliance works or the food science of how it affects things. Is it going to replace your smoker? Hell no, in fact most things are better cooked other ways, especially if you want any sear on your meat. I do believe with a lot of trial and error, you might be able to get a nice reverse sear kind of situation for a nice steak. But as much as I love and support microwaves, I don't have the spare income to do the proper testing. Would be really interested to watch more Microwave Meats from Guga Foods, especially if it's from the perspective of a self imposed challenge to try and make the best possible microwave version of foods by adjusting power and time settings.

[@ricardoarzate1875]

You can cook on the microwave, just need to set the power at least 50% or 60%. I warranty if you do that and put a little bit more of time the results are going to be better. At the end when it’s cooked, put some minutes on 100% to make the bark.

Okay so we just did this at work to see how it would go. Didn’t crisp up like gugas so I would like to know what kind of microwave he has. Guessing it may have a convection setting. We did add liquid smoke and seriously we were all dumbfounded that the flavors were all there. Like he said it won’t get you the tender result we all like from slow cooking but it was still a better lunch then any of us usually have in a hardware store lol. Once the snow melts I’ll probably bring the sous vide to work and try it that way and just finish on the grill we have out back but still a fun experiment with surprising results. Keep it up guga!

[@rodmunch69]

He's cooking in a plastic container, so it's just a normal setting, not convection. The fat is what's crisping, so maybe you got a leaner cut perhaps? But yeah, I'm also surprised it browned liked that -- meat in the microwave normally doesn't even look good.

[@lhardly]

Did you dry brine? If you're adding liquid smoke did you add any other marinade? Maybe it was the moisture on the meat that stopped it. I never would have thought it would crisp up like his did though.

[@Steven-gv1ke]

The fat in a brisket doesn't even start to render until about 190 degrees. I wish you had cooked it until it was a internal temperature of 200, then let it rest until 140 degrees before cutting it. This would have likely made it far less chewy.

[@jeremyrichey4243]

I usually have to go to about the mid-200's before it's tender. About 205-208 is best with my thermometer. Wish someone had told me 190 was the low end when I was starting to cook briskets, and to cook until soft instead of cook until temperature. I pulled my first brisket off the smoker at 190-195 (I can't remember which) and it was rock hard. I'm pretty sure if it was cooked a little longer it'd be much better.

Chicken cacciatore was a family favorite, all done in that microwave. My dad even had to cook a turkey in the microwave one year when our oven broke and it was one of the best turkey's we ever had! Microwave has it's negatives but it can do a lot more than we give it credit for if you adjust the settings for the cooks. I'd almost want to see you try it again, for longer with less power to see if it breaks down a little more, maybe a container with a lid like a casserole dish that could trap steam. I remember a lot of the dishes we did in the microwave were in glass/porcelain with lids to promote the steaming. Remove lid to brown at the end....Just a thought!

Guga, you need to be a bit more scientific with a microwave and work with the "Power" settings (50% to start out). I wish you'd do this again by experimenting with that. Example: Never reheat pizza in a microwave at full power... you get better results at lower power percentages (takes more time of course). You can't hit the contents with full power consistently... it's way too much direct heat. Power adjustments hit the contents in spurts, which allow the contents to cool a bit between bursts. Of course it'll take longer, but the end result is more consistent with traditional cooking methods. I'd suggest only doing full power to put a final "sear" to the outside once the internal temp is cool enough.

FYI: from personal experience. I prepped and grilled a 7 lb brisket for a couple of hours. Putting sawdust in the grill and jam packing as much smoke into it. Then I took it and wrapped it in aluminum foil and cooked it low and slow in convection oven/air fryer. Then cold smoked it again for an hour in the grill again. That’s the best option I could think of with a small duplex. And I could do the grill part on the balcony. Or if someone didn’t have that, they could make a box and cold smoke it then just throw it in the convection oven.

This TOTALLY reminds me of when I was in college and did very similar things. My first experiment was cooking hamburger in the microwave which was actually pretty easy with Tupperware. I used that hamburger to make some BOMB Rotel cheese dip that I brought to a potluck that one of my teachers was having for a class completion party and I received a lot of praise from both the teacher and my classmates with the dip disappearing very quickly which was crazy because I made A LOT (the recipe I used called for a pound of hamburger and I doubled everything because I both wanted to make sure I had enough as well as possibly have leftovers for later). People started not only eating it with chips but pouring it on other dishes like hot dogs and someone even made some meat buns which were fantastic and everything was just better with the cheese dip. Later on, I experimented with cooking all manner of meats/poultry/seafood in the microwave and my results kind of echo what Guga discovered here in that the items were PERFECT for use in other dishes but not the greatest when eaten on their own. Because the microwave excites the water molecules in food so much, it tends to cause moisture to rapidly leave items being cooked and they end up tougher and often dryer than if they were cooked via other means.

This bring me back to the old series "Is It A Good Idea To Microwave That?" I would be totally fine with Guga trying more unconventional cooking methods since he's already mastered all of the traditional methods.

[@nolansykinsley3734]

Guga, as a once broke and still kinda broke bloke, you can greatly improve on the results of this! First, get a tray to go in the bottom to lift the brisket up. Then you put water in the bottom, put a lid on with a small hole for a vent. Preheat the water getting it boiling, then put the brisket in and put the lid on. Continue cooking on high power until the water starts boiling and then continue the rest of the cook time at 50% power. The boiling water will surround the brisket with steam and the steam absorbs the microwaves before they hit the meat, preventing hot spots and evenly distributing the heat around the brisket. You only need to run the microwave at 50% power which turns it on/off every 30 seconds to keep the steam hot enough to cook the brisket, running at 100% will just waste energy. You can then slow down the cooking process and cook it for the 2-3 hours needed to properly cook it.

[@Ilethsamael]

I think that would defeat the process. That said I thin kit would be better to add fat and let it rest a few times for 10 minutes out of the MW. Surely it is a fascinating experiment.

[@nolansykinsley3734]

@@Ilethsamael What do you mean "defeat the process"? The process is cooking in a microwave, if we can convert the undesirable heat distribution of microwaves into evenly heated steam, that is surely enhancing the microwave process, not defeating it. It is making it greater, not destroying it! I use this process for midnight hamburgers. Get a glass bowl with lid and a ramekin. Put a cup and a half of water in the bowl with the ramekin in it and lid on in the microwave, and run till the water boils, about 3 minutes. Then remove the lid carefully with potholders and place a seasoned frozen burger patty on the ramekin, using the ramekin to keep the patty out of the water. Put back in the microwave and nuke on high till the water starts boiling, then 50% power for ~5-7 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes then throw on a bun for a nice steamed burger in less than 15 minutes.

[@Ilethsamael]

@@nolansykinsley3734 The reason I said it is because steaming meat does not deliver the best taste profile. Most of the deliciousness of the meat derives by the maillard reaction on the meat surface. Steam in a microwave does not go to a temperature necessary to initiate that process. Leaving plenty of fat on the meat, either basting or deep frying, will probably give better results while the MW will reach the meat itself with more difficulty. At the end of the day the result is what matters, if your technique works who am I to complaint?

[@lhardly]

@@Ilethsamael I don't think you're going to get much of a maillard reaction in a microwave anyway though. I think his method would do well for tenderising it, yea sure taste might not be there but worth a shot I think.
