Hard to believe, but some cuts really can be decently cooked in a MW. I had
a beef roast that was medium rare in the center, not the putrid gray one
would expect. It is a matter of using the proper power settings, but you
don't get the nice bark as an oven can do.

One time I wanted steak and they were not completely defrosted so I put them
in the MW for a couple of minutes. Pushed the wrong buttons and walked
away. Yuckkkkkkkk, even the dog was hesitant. We had KFC or something that
night.
