Raw meat cooked in the microwave doesn't turn out all that good so I would not actually recommend cooking raw meat in the microwave.

If you don't have a cook stove you can get a cheap cooking hot plate for around $10.00 at Walmart and cook on it using a regular pan to fry or cook the meat and it will turn out much better.

Even using a toaster oven to cook the meat will be much better than cooking the meat in the microwave.

Besides the meat not turning out properly when cooking it in the microwave you also risk getting sick and having partial raw meat when cooking it using a microwave.

The microwave cooks the food unevenly and can leave part of the meat uncooked and raw when you bite into it.

Cooking meat in the microwave can leave cold spots in the meat that harbor bacteria including E. coli, salmonella and listeria.

So I would advise you to not cook raw meat in the microwave and use a cook stove or toaster oven to cook the meat.

Or use a hot plate with a frying pan to cook the meat.

Reheating meat in the microwave is okay but you should not cook raw meat in the microwave.
