Although I frequently thaw chicken breasts in my microwave, it always annoyed me when the edged would get somewhat cooked (even on "defrost".)
My "law of thermodynamics" son suggested that I turn the package upside down with the styrofoam tray on top, chicken side down.
It works! No cooked edges!
As for cast iron, the Washington Post has a pretty interesting piece entitled "Cast-Iron Clinic" in its Food section today.
