I'll give the microwave a pass. It doesn't heat up food evenly but all You have to do is stir it half way through. It's not like You can heat up anything on the stove without stirring.

While on the subject. I have a microwave, electric oven combo. I can use it both to heat things up quickly and to bake. It takes space for only one allowance and is smaller than an average oven so it heats up quicker and I could fit one more drawer into my kitchen. I'm always wondering why they aren't more popular. Whenever I tell people about it, they are surprised that a thing like that exists.

My wife learning about inverter microwave models was one of the greatest upgrades in our kitchen when the old microwave went out. The shorter pulses for power reduction is such a game-changer over something that puts burning the fuck out of your food on a temporary pause.

90s at 70%, 45s at 50%, then 45-90s at 30% gives us perfectly hot milk that doesn't boil over and no skin ring that's been baked on the inside of our mugs.

My hotplate recently broke, but I successfully used the microwave yesterday to make a simple syrup without relying on short bursts and frequent stirring breaks.

I've never lived in a society where a microwave is used for anything other than heating things up—all be it, poorly.

Then I hear of people in some countries use themi cook. What a waste your time, food, and mone?

In the apocalypse; Microwavers.are.day 1 done at best.

Albeit... I mean, pedantically at least.

It's certainly one of the more forgivable boneappleteas I've ever seen... but the rest of the comment is such a hot mess of typos and unwarranted aggression that my sympathy evaporated.

Just wait 2 minutes after it dings, then the heat spreads through the food evenly.
