Microwave on High power using the following chart for timing, making sure to flip and continue cooking on the second side:

Step 3

3 to 4 minutes per side

Step 4

4 to 5 minutes per side

Step 5

6 to 7 minutes per side

Step 6

Double the cook time; start checking a few minutes before to assess doneness
