I don't understand why would you thaw raw meat (that maens red raw) in cola? blood + cola = death?? why is it bad that I put the meat in the microwave? The bones aren't metallic? I mean okay it's like 1% iron?

You don't drink the cola after...Im sure the acidity helps tenderize the meat while the syrup/sugar sweetens it a little. Just a cheap marinade.
You can cook raw meat in the microwave but its horrible.I also condone microwaved hotdogs in the kraft mac'n'cheeze.
Or put frozen broccoli in with velveeta sheels and cheese. Both amazing.
