Cooking a Roast in the Microwave: Is it Possible?

In summary, cooking a roast in the microwave is possible with the right technique and equipment. A lean, boneless cut of beef such as a top round or eye of round works best. Cooking time can vary, but it typically takes 20-25 minutes per pound. You will need a microwave-safe roasting dish with a lid and a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, and 170°F for well-done.

I have never done a roast in the microwave...I do make them in the DCB ( in the oven) all the time and they are super yummy! If you try one in the microwave let us know how it turns out!
 
I have done a smaller turkey but not a pot roast, I don't see why not. If you can do ribs, why not a pot roast????
Let us know if you try it.

Ok~ I got one that was a hair under 2 lbs...
placed it in baker with quartered red potatoes and onions
Two cloves of fresh pressed garlic
Can of French onion soup & one can off water
Covered and baked in microwave for 10 minutes
(flipped it so both sides cooked in juice)
cooked 10 more minutes bringing temp to 150
let it rest for 10 more minutes bringing temp to 160
placed roast on cutting board sliced and then put meat back in baker with juices

We ate ours on toasted rolls... I thought it was pretty good. Hubby is not home yet, he is the food snob I eat almost anything. I will let you all know what he thought of it. Oh we ate the potatoes as a side...
