Can raw hamburger meat be microwaved?

I have no idea if it can be cooked in the microwave or not. Any advice or cooking directions? I need to eat the food I have.

I think technically it CAN. but my experience from long ago, is that it tends to taste a bit funny.

I would think no. It does not get hot enough to kill potential bacteria. :t_rex::t_rex::t_rex:

  1. Yes it can.
  2. You’ll wish you hadn’t after.

Narsty.

Incorrect. Just be sure to check the internal temperature before consuming to make sure it is properly cooked.

Do you have a stovetop and pan to cook it in? I would think hamburger cooked in the microwave would be pretty gross

Yes I have a stove, I just don’t have any pots or pans. I’ll take the meat and donate it to the kitchen at my psych clinic. They can either use it for cooking lunch or give it to someone who can use it.

I just have microwave dishes. The microwave is in my bedroom where I spend the majority of my time.

That’s a good idea. Very thoughtful. Yeah, I think you’d regret it after you ate microwaved hamburger.

It would be dry.

MIght be a worthwhile investment to get a pan. If you are stretched for cash, maybe you could get one at a thrift store. Seems like a mistake when you have so little food yourself to be giving it away.

I’m looking forward to drawing my private pension now when I turn 65 in a year and four months. It’s an extra $200.00 a month, payable for life.

I agree wholeheartedly. Thrift stores are great for cookware.

Also, if you want to make tacos or something, you can cook it un the microwave. It isn’t ideal, but seasoning will help it after cooking.

Yeah I would try to invest in a frying pan @anon54988740 and maybe a pot as well.

I wouldn’t risk cooking raw meat in a microwave

Well I guess the meat will keep in the freezer until the first of the month when I get my check and can look into getting a couple of pans.

Definitely. I love that style of pan. You can use it for frying and even boiling. I had one and used it for many years. Mine was a TFal
