[quote=Anonymous]You don't understand how microwaving works. You aren't getting hot air into the center. Micro-waves hit water molecules and excite them. When water molecules get excited, they heat up. Micro-waves have a harder time getting through thick objects. That's why the insides take longer. They are being partially cooked by the micro-waves, partially cooked by radiant heat (being next to a hot object, like cooking on a stove or in an oven). And skewering them through will not get the micro-waves into the center of the food. You either have to cut the food into smaller sizes, cook for longer, cook for longer at a reduced power (allowing radiant heat time to work) or let it sit for 1-2 minutes after done (again to allow time for radiant heat to do its thing).
