'Splain please. Yes, I could look it up, but I'd rather hear your version.
And are you in S. Louisiana?
What is a cajun microwave? A microwave with an outboard and a screen door?
A Cajun Microwave is a wooden box with a removable lid made of metal. The box can be any size you want to make it. It is lined with galvanized metal, has a rack inside it to place whatever you are cooking onto, and a couple of drain holes to drain off the fat.
You place your meat, could be ribs, chickens, turkeys, whole pig, part of the pig, you are only limited by your imagination, into the the box, place the lid in place and then put charcoal on top of it.
The heat radiates down into the box, cooking, and more importantly, crisping the pig during the last hour after you flip porky skin side up. You can do an 80 pound porker in about 4-6 hours. I like to put seasoned whole ears of corn wraped in foil with real butter into the box about an hour before the pig is done so it is done at the same time.
