My Russian friend* can really fly around a kitchen. Refuses to get a microwave because she said it will make her lazy. Even after I showed her how to ignite a plasma in one.
I have a microwave but I try not to use it since most things cook just as fast in pans and taste better.

Clean up though. And friend* wonāt eat till the kitchen is clean.
No need to clean pans I cook in with oil. The next day the egg sandwich tastes even more delicious with whatever I cooked the night before. Worst case I have to wipe some stuff out with a paper towel.

Microwaves really arenāt for cooking, theyāre for heating/reheating. Who actually cooks stuff in a microwave?

Actually I probably could cook that pretty quickly, with sauce, in the toaster oven. Iāll try that next time.
Donāt know if Keed would approve but I cooked my Thanksgiving baked potato in the microwave. Morning steel-cut oats go in there too. Other than that, itās true, water for instant coffee and hot chocolate gets heated and thatās about it.
Me? Steaming vegetables like asparagus or broccoli between wet paper towels is really efficient and good in the microwave.
David Chang, apparently.
Yeah, I guess I deserved that.
There are some exceptions where actual microwave cooking is good or even better than most alternatives. Iād say that my statement was still true for the most part.
One that I do is corn on the cob. I stole it from Kenji, though.
I use the microwave to reheat the frozen beans I make in bulk and to warm up milk when I make BĆ©chamel based sauces.
I used the plural there and made sure to include the diacritic to make it sounds like Iām some highbrow saucier, but itās pretty much just mac & cheese in reality.

MEANWHILE IN STRAYA UPDATE
A drone captures footage of a giant saltwater crocodile attacking a bull shark.
A scene from Crocodile Dundee is re-enacted IRL:

Really! That sucks. Their wings are so good.
Iāve recently lived in small apartments with tiny kitchens. No room for a microwave. I hardly miss it. Donāt think Iāll get another.

Had one once, hardly used it, will never buy again.
