Assistant Cook
I'm a very simple, single guy cook. Lately I defrost a big Tyson flash frozen but uncooked chicken breast, slice it into smaller strips or cubes, and microwave it for a few minutes. Since the chicken has been injected with 10-15% extra liquid, the chicken pieces end up in a quarter to half inch of boiling water, all mixed together on a plate. I usually soak up the water with paper towels, but I figure "real" cooks must have better methods.
I went looking for microwave accessories that let the liquid drain away. There is a 13" bacon cooker/meat defroster pan that has grooves and a slope so the expelled liquid drains away. That pan is too big for my microwave, and the draining action is only designed for larger pieces, not the many smaller pieces I am cooking.
Does anyone know of a microwave accessory that, for example, is a latticework that sits an inch or so off the plate or pan underneath that catches the liquid? Or any other strategy to solve this expelled liquid problem?
Thanks!
