New country edition - "Cooked by Microwave" (5)

I believe the answer is:

nuked

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cooked by microwave' is the definition.
'nuked' can be an answer for 'cooked' (nuking is a kind of cooking). I'm not sure about the 'by microwave' bit.

'new country edition' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'country' becomes 'UK' (United Kingdom).
'edition' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'n'+'uk'+'ed'='NUKED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nuked that I've seen before include "Used bombs" , "zapped into oblivion?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
