i noticed that a burger that has already been cooked on the stove and refrigerated will reach 200 degrees in the microwave in 1 minute
and the safe temp to eat burgers is 160 so do i just have to throw raw meat in the microwave would it be safe and would it taste any good
what if i partially cook it on the stove to about 130 degrees then finish cooking to safe temperature in the microwave
 
You can cook it in the microwave as long as it's cooked through properly and it will be safe to eat.
I don't think it tastes as nice because you don't get the same nice caramelization on the outside that you would searing it in a hot pan!
