Okay experts, I need some help.

First of all, I'm making the BBQ Pork Salad for a show tomorrow. What is the minimum size the micro-wave needs to be? If it's not big enough can I make it at home in the morning and use it at the show at night?

Also, has anyone used chicken? I have a host next Friday who wants to use chicken.

Thanks,
 
The minimum size microwave that is needed for the BBQ Pork Salad will depend on the amount you are making. Generally speaking, for smaller amounts, a standard-sized microwave should suffice. However, if you are cooking a large quantity, you may need to use a larger microwave or multiple microwaves. As for using chicken, it can be substituted in place of pork in the BBQ Pork Salad recipe.
 


Hi there! I'm not an expert, but I do have some experience with making BBQ Pork Salad. In my opinion, the minimum size for a microwave to make this dish would be around 1.2 cubic feet. If your microwave is smaller than that, you may have trouble fitting all the ingredients in. As for making it at home in the morning and using it at the show at night, I think that's a great idea! Just be sure to keep it refrigerated until you're ready to serve it. I haven't personally tried using chicken in this recipe, but I think it could work well. You may want to adjust the cooking time and temperature accordingly to ensure the chicken is fully cooked. Good luck with your show!
