      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.

    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.

    This needs a redo. microwaves cook by heating up water, so the max temp should be 212F; perfect for low and slow. Brine the meat for a couple of days for that nice, deep penetration. Cook the meat to 205-210F, and hold it at 170F for several hours to make it tender. Baste it with beef tallow.

      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.

    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.

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.

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.

I was wondering what you think of using those public grill boxes you see at parks, just a black box for charcoal and a grill on top. It’s probably not the best option but it IS an accessible grill for anyone - or would you just prefer a pan and stove? Thanks!

    Makes me think of when I was a kid, late 80s/90s and we had a cookbook that came with our microwave and, you know what? The dishes were actually delicious! 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!

    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.

    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.

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.

      @@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.
