How long does it take a microwave oven to warm up?
I still hear this myth being pushed. Food does NOT heat from the inside, it heats from the outside in. DUH!!
It heats any water molecules when they get passed through and start to vibrate faster. If the water content is mostly on the inside (like a pie) it would actually heat from the inside out. If not, it wouldn't heat from inside outwards. -- For full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...p-1116153-.htm |

The center will be cold long after the outside burns when you cook on high. That is why they pulse the gun (temp control) and tell you to let things rest. They are trying to get you to wait until thermal conduction can even out the heating. Best is to stir things you can and spread stuff out on the plate. |

Best is to stir things you can and spread stuff out on the plate. No need to do that. Greftwell is right in that the microwaves only penetrate about an inch into the food. Depending on density, thickness, and composition things heat differently. Sugar and fats heat faster than most other portions. Resting improves the heating my letting conduction move the heat from the outer portion in. Makes little difference on a slice of ham, makes a big difference on a large ham. For best results, resting should be roughly half the cooking time. No, you do not HAVE to stir but you will be faster and more even heating. Not so much if heating a cup of water for tea, big difference heating a bowl or gravy. When reheating most any cooked foods I use 50% power for best results. Slice of bacon? Sure, let it rip 20 seconds. A portion of cold or frozen lasagna? Lower power, longer time. Look at the instructions on Stouffer's frozen lasagna and they state time on high, then more time at half ower. |

Yes, but he didnt say that. Sugar and fats heat faster than most other portions. Resting improves the heating my letting conduction move the heat from the outer portion in. Yes, but something like a leg of lamb cooks fine without doing that. Makes little difference on a slice of ham, makes a big difference on a large ham. No it doesnt. For best results, resting should be roughly half the cooking time. Thats bull**** too. No, you do not HAVE to stir but you will be faster and more even heating. Not so much if heating a cup of water for tea, In fact you dont need to stir that at all, it stirs itself. big difference heating a bowl or gravy. More bull****. When reheating most any cooked foods I use 50% power for best results. I dont and it works fine without doing that. Slice of bacon? Sure, let it rip 20 seconds. A portion of cold or frozen lasagna?

Microwaves will penetrate to the middle of a pie that's 2" thick. And when I put a piece of pie in set on high, the top crust isn't burning before the whole thing is steaming hot. If I put in a pint size container of tomato sauce that's in the shape of a sour cream or yogurt container, that doesn't just melt from the top and/or burn there either. Seems to melt from the top and sides first. Or how about ice cream? I pop a pint in on high for 15 secs to warm it up to make it easy to scoop. It pretty much softens the whole thing. I don't wind up with just soft in the very top or a pool of liquid at the top and the rest still hard. It's probably because the composition has significant air making it less dense and the waves can penetrate deeper. |

But that's more because I'm heating it in a plastic container and the localized heating near the plastic could soften it. The store bought foods have containers that can stand the heat. |

If you didn't have a tray in there and just set things on the metal can nothing would get in the bottom but they are not made that way. |

Thats because the crust doesnt absorb microwaves as well as the body of the pie does because the crust doesnt have as much water in it as the body of the pie does. In fact thats one real problem with microwaves, you dont get the nice crisp crust like you do in a conventional oven.

It's probably because the composition has significant air making it less dense and the waves can penetrate deeper. Yep, fretwells original is utterly mangled, as always with fretwell. |

Look at the instructions on Stouffer's frozen lasagna and they state time on high, then more time at half ower. Plenty of other frozen foods just give a time to cook it on high. In fact almost all of them do. One ready meal I like comes in two containers and you cook one for a while on high, them add the other and cook the two of them on high, then mix the contents of the smaller container into the larger container and eat it. Everything from eggplant parm to vegetables When I thaw out cooked frozen foods that I have prepared, then I put it on half power and monitor it. But that's more because I'm heating it in a plastic container and the localized heating near the plastic could soften it. I have never had the container softened by cooking on full power. The store bought foods have containers that can stand the heat. One of my neighbours regularly gives me a dinner in a takeaway container and they microwave on full fine without any problem with the container if for example it shows up after I have eaten and I need to heat it ready to eat the next day. I do cook rice in the microwave on both full and half power, half power in the much longer second half, but that because the added water just needs to be kept boiling in the much longer second half. The much shorter first part is on full power to get the water boiling in the first place. |

Nope, you are actually cooking it, same with rice and potatoes. Do you cook steaks in the microwave? Some food gets a better result cooked in other ways. How about Beef Stroganoff or spaghetti sauce (not from a box, jar or can) I do gravy in the microwave, not from a box, jar or can. And always do frozen veg, rice etc in the microwave. I dont eat oatmeal but would cook that in a microwave if I did. I both roast potatoes and do whole potatoes in their jackets in the microwave. All are cooked, not just heated. |

Where you might or might not eat in spades. And irrelevant to whether its cooked in the microwave too. Real rice done in a microwave is just as good as in a rice cooker or in a saucepan on the stove top and is a lot easier to do than in a saucepan once you get the detail right. Potatoes done in their jackets in the microwave are better than boiled potatoes done in a saucepan, no added water is used in the microwave. Frozen veg is better in a microwave than a saucepan too, again, no added water with the microwave. You dont have a ****ing clue about cooking, or anything else either. |

Back about 35 years an appliance store sold them and gave classes where you cooked a full meal. My wife and I bought one and took the class a couple of nights and yes, that beef roast was damned good. Sure, some stuff still is best the normal methods but with proper preparation, using various power setting, you can do far more than heat leftovers. Of course you won't get crispy skin on your chicken but you can do amazing things with boneless skinless parts. If you don't know how, it will be chunks of rubber. |

So vegetables, eg broccoli or carrots cooked in a microwave are somehow no good? But ones boiled in water or steamed on the range are? Potato baked in a microwave is no good? Popcorn? No wonder we, as a nation, are so fat and spend so much on food. We let ConAgra decide what we are going to eat, how much corn syrup, salt and fat it has in it and let them package it for us. Now you're talking about frozen prepared foods, not cooking. |

It takes a bit of technique to cook some items well. Just as true of a conventional oven and stove. With a barby in spades.

And some stuff like potatoes done in their jackets and frozen veg are better in the microwave than other ways. Of course you won't get crispy skin on your chicken but you can do amazing things with boneless skinless parts. And pies and sausage rolls and stuff like that are much better in a conventional oven. If you don't know how, it will be chunks of rubber. |

Popcorn is the only thing "cooked" in our microwave. Otherwise it's used to warm up leftovers or coffee that's gone cool. I've heard that people cook meals in a microwave, but we never tried that. |

I am not taking food advice from a country that invented Vegimite. You are still talking about heating things up. That is not to be confused with browning meat in a pan, deglazing and recovering the fond, adding your other ingredients and simmering it for a few hours, then making a sauce. You can't duplicate that in a microwave. I bet you cook ribs in the microwave too and add some liquid smoke. Yummy. |

I suppose there is no difference to some people between cooking a fine meal from ingredients, not out of a can and nuking something in the microwave. You're assuming that you can't cook a fine meal in the microwave. You are, as usual, wrong. It depends on your definition of a fine meal. If you go to a nice restaurant, they may heat stuff up in a microwave but the cooking is done on a stove or in an oven. OTOH, Burger King uses a microwave to rejuvenate a burger that has been sitting in the out chute of the flame broiler too long. Maybe that is what you mean. |
