"To help assure that microwave cooked pork is safe to eat, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that pork cooked in a microwave reach an internal temperature of at least 170 degrees Fahrenheit. To help achieve this, the National Livestock and Meat Board has published some specific suggestions.
When cooking a boneless pork roast it suggest selecting an evenly shaped roast, putting in a microwave cooking bag and cooking approximately 22 minutes per pound on a medium low setting or until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees."
For pork chops they recommend using chops three quarters to an inch thick, placing them in a tightly covered microwave dish, and cooking for 18 to 20 minutes per pound. Both chops and roasts should also be turned and rotated halfway into the total cooking time."

Using this information, I recommend 1 pound of pork to be cooked for 16 minutes on low (40%-50% power) in a microwavable-safe tented glass container placed inside a microwavable steam-bag. Then cooked an additional 2 minutes on high (100% power) without pausing between the 16 minutes ending and the 2 minutes beginning.
Pork contains Trichinella worms. You may be risking Trichinosis infection (e.g. brain damage, since when eaten, that is where the parasite ends up the most) if pork is not cooked correctly.

Should you cook a pork roast in a baking bag?
It is not necessary to do so. Depending on how big the pork roast is, you may want to put foil over it for the first 3/4 of the cooking time (to prevent dryness), removing the foil for the last 15 minutes or so, just to brown the meat. But if it's a small pork roast it makes little difference whether you use a baking bag, or foil, or just leave it uncovered (it won't be cooking long enough to make it dry).
