Agree with nuking only for samples. Works fine for some small testing. I do 30% to 50% power a minute at a time till it feels a bit brittle or crunchy. My experience is that I lose flavor and potency with nuking. You'll just get a taste of what the potency and type of buzz will be like, but the well cured product will be fantastically more enjoyable. As I've posted on another thread, if you can wait a little longer you can use anairtight container and a strong dessicant like DriRite. You'll preserve your taste and potency and it'll pull the h20 out much quicker than the typical cure and it sure won't a bit of thc (unlike the microwave).
