      Well, when the first Microwaves did come out. They were gigantic and yes there were restaurants that served nothing but microwaved foods. They prepared interesting dishes with them. Only over the decades. When the technology got smaller and even more powerful. People still treat the Microwave as something to just warm up last week's leftovers....

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    My husband is disabled and when our 3 kids were little he got a night job as a clerk at a hotel, it included 2 rooms one for us and one for the kids the only drawback for living there was the only way to cook was a microwave. I cooked everything in that microwave. Even a complete Thanksgiving Turkey it turned out wonderful juicy and brown. I did have a temperature probe in that microwave to tell when things were done to temperature.

    Guga. Next time try doing 15 minutes intervals & turn the container at each interval twice for 1 hour. First 2 intervals covered & the second 2 opened.
    Btw, after dry brining use black pepper, garlic powder & all spice.
    Finish off with a compound butter of choice in the final few minutes.

    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!

      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
      @lhardly 3 роки тому +1

      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.

  • @VoodooViking
    @VoodooViking 2 роки тому +1

    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.

  • @nolansykinsley3734
    @nolansykinsley3734 3 роки тому +11

    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
      @Ilethsamael 3 роки тому

      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
      @nolansykinsley3734 3 роки тому

      @@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
      @Ilethsamael 3 роки тому

      @@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?

    You should really come back to this idea and take into consideration the comment section! Microwaves are mostly thought as set it, forget it, and get it hot in the least amount of time... but if you put some finesse into it maybe you could actually come out with an even better product! It's great you can make brisket tacos in 49 minutes tbh, you COULD honestly stop there cause that's an achievement. Imagine putting in a bit more elbow grease with a microwave and making a brisket that can stand solidly on its own. I don't think it could ever compare to a smoke/oven cook but it would be really amazing to see how far you can push it. The fact its actually edible and good enough for tacos with a 49 minute set it and forget it is promising.
