(1) The key to the microwave is time intervals. Instead of “waving” something for 5 minutes straight, do two 2 minute segments and a 1 minute at the end. The time intervals allow for more evenly heated food with more moisture.
(2) Another trick is plastic wrap. If you are re-heating left-overs or steaming vegetables, you place the food on a plate and cover the plate in plastic wrap. It decreases reheating time and increase moisture in the food. I use this technique with the interval heating.
(3) ***Popcorn Alert*** always use the popcorn setting on the microwave

Please share your own microwave master techniques…
Buck and i just bought our first microwave last month, so I haven't really mastered it yet. The good thing is that it doesn't catch on fire like toaster ovens....not that I would know anything about that. :)
