A functional American verb meaning simply to cook or heat something in a microwave — stripping away the brand name and going straight to describing the action. While most people just say 'microwave it,' microcook shows up in recipes, food packaging, and casual conversation as a tidy alternative. It has the practical, no-nonsense energy of American kitchen language that wants to sound precise without being fussy.
(US) A light hollow muffin, resembling an individual Yorkshire pudding.
