Cook the meat in the microwave during the summer months

Summer is here and if you're like me, you do not want your oven or stove unless absolutely necessary. I do most of my cooking in the microwave oven in the summer months. It helps keep my home cooler and cuts on my cooling bill.

I found that many people do not cook meat in the microwave. I was once one of those people. Chicken would come out like rubber and I always fear that the beef did not cook. I have since found that the trick is to use the right utensils.

There are also some of its hype as unsafe to use plastic to cook the meat or whatever in the microwave. This is only half true. Some types of plastic are chemicals that are activated by heat in the microwave and these chemicals can have access to food. So the key to cooking in a microwave oven is once again using the appropriate container. Basically, to use tanks, which are specially designed for cooking in a microwave oven.

My preference in microwave cooking is Tupperware. Their cooking is specially designed for the microwave, so you do not have to worry about chemicals. Their casserole is designed to retain moisture in your meat, so your meat does't come out dry and rubbery. It also has a strainer so you can brown your meat and then drain the fat in the background. It is easy to get rid of fat or juice to use for the sauce. Tupperware also supports the pan with a lifetime warranty, so if it breaks I can replace it with a new one, which seems to be a good investment for me.

Thus, the instructions I am providing below apply to the Tupperware oval casserole. If you feel safe with a second type of cooker, microwave, of course, try, but be sure to follow the guidelines I listed above.

Cooking ground beef

Place the meat with your favorite condiment in the filter range. Cover and cook for 6 minutes per pound. Leave for a few minutes and remove from microwave. Using a sieve to drain all the fat range. Cooking a whole chicken if you use the oval casserole will have to use the expansion space for medium-sized chicken.

Next, place the chicken in the pot. Pour half a cup of water in the bottom of the range. Sprinkle the chicken with your favorite seasonings. Place the lid on the pot and cook for 6 minutes per pound. I think you will be surprised how moist the chicken in the kitchen cutting.

After cutting the chicken until the chicken using the same instructions for cooking a whole chicken. Determined by the height of the piles of chicken if you need to use extension or not.

Cook chicken Use the strainer to cook the chicken pieces. Cut the chicken into bite-size. I usually use chicken cutlets for this purpose. Place the chicken in the colander cutup. Season with your favorite seasonings. Place the lid on the pot and cook for 6 minutes per pound.

Cook pork,

I have not tried cooking pork in microwave. The pig is difficult and my family does not eat pork, so that's one reason I've never tried to cook in the microwave. However, there are a lot of chicken recipes out there, so I hope these tips will help keep your kitchen cooler during the summer months.
