Great idea!
The cooking time for ground beef in the DCB varies depending on the amount of beef being cooked and the power of your microwave. On average, it takes about 8-10 minutes to fully cook 1 pound of ground beef in the DCB.
No, you do not need to add any additional liquid when cooking ground beef in the DCB. The beef will release its own juices as it cooks, creating enough moisture for the cooking process.
Yes, you can cook frozen ground beef in the DCB. However, it may take longer than cooking thawed beef and you will need to use a lower power setting on your microwave to ensure even cooking.
The ground beef is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature or you can cut into the beef to make sure it is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
Yes, you can season the ground beef before cooking it in the DCB. However, it is recommended to wait until after the beef is fully cooked before adding any salt or acidic ingredients such as vinegar or lemon juice, as these can toughen the meat.
