Has anyone done turkey breast in the DCBaker in the microwave?

Margit
 
i'm going to try it later today to use the turkey meat for my cook & book new consultant training tonight. mine is bone in, so i'm just going to pretend it's chicken and try 12-15 min & then check the temp with the digital thermometer.
 
I did a pre-cooked boneless breast kinda thing. It was marinated in something. I think the regular instructions said to heat in the oven with some water. I did it in the micro in the DCB and the outside came out kinda dry. I don't think I put water in the DCB. I didn't really like the flavor of the marinade so haven't done it again. The texture may have been better if I had put some water in the DCB with the lid on while it got up to temp.
 
thx becca, i'll add some water when i do it!
 
I've cooked a raw turkey breast on the bone ( around 6 pounds ) a few times in the DCB. I think it took about 40-45 minutes. I checked it at 15 minutes intervals. Came out Great!!! :D
 
In the microwave or oven, covered or uncovered Ginger?
 
i did it last night and it was great. it was about a lb & a half and it took about 20 minutes covered in the microwave. i added a little bit of water to the dcb to keep it moist.
