Have you ever actually used the microwave to cook with?
 

Never in my life have I actually used the microwave to cook with. I always just use it to warm stuff up....you?

I've never cooked with it either. Just the idea sounds pathetic to me. Cooking is sooooo easy, why use the microwave.

The only thing I've ever seen cooked in it and it comes out great is my moms Aspergus. That's about the only thing I've ever seen come out good from it. Otherwise stovetop and oven is the way to go.

Cooking is sooooooooo easy. Why is it that the majority of people I know can't cook for shit and think microwavable food is the way to go?

are you saying people use it for something other than popcorn?

Those would be lazy people Bob. :)

:1orglaugh

Yes I use it all the time when my wife is out or something if I want a quick snack to eat...

do you have a microwavable girlfriend?

lipton noodles in the mic, tastes the same as boiling it except faster and less mess

I use it for frozen dinners, does that count? :)

what the fuck are lipton noodles?

I grew up with an Italian mom that was an EXCELENT cook. I am no where close to being as good a cook as her. In fact my menu of what I can cook is pretty limited. But what I do know how to cook I cook well.

So point is that I cook on my own and still eat healthy.

Yet the vast majority of people I know (both men & women) can't cook at all and just prefer eating out at restaurants. I personally hate restaurants. Besides just not trusting how clean the kitchen is, I just enjoy homemade meals much more.

I'd be willing to bet that the obesity problem isn America is partly becaue most Americans can't cook and those that do usually cook with canned food etc.. rather than fresh homemade ingredients.

That's very true. Organic all the way!

Well I have an Advantium which cooks like an oven only 20 times faster so yea my woman uses it alot.

And fast food. When my roommates are hungry and don't have any "quick food" to make, they run to Wendys. They aren't fat, but I'm sure many people do this.

Between poor eating habits, too much TV, too much soda, and not enough physical activity.

No way. It sucks for defrosting. Suck for cooking - even tv dinners. Chicken is like rubber.

I believe it's safe to boil water in a microwave, though.

i tried making pancakes with the first one i got, put in a plate with the liquid stuff came out as total crap gum not even able to eat it lol

read that and see if you want to keep the microwave around for use on food...


or anything for that matter

Dried cup noodles that you use with boiled water.

how does it do that?

Exactly. Dude I LOVE pasta.. It takes me 10 minutes to make some. That's quicker than running down to wendy's.

Hell I usually have some hamburger meat or thin steaks in the refrigerator all the time too. Grilling up a burger or steak takes 10-15 minutes tops...

Grill Cheese sandwiches are simple too.

I am by no means some gourmet chef....but jesus it's not that hard to cook simple stuff at home when you got the munchies.

hot pockets. thats about the extent of my culinary microwavery. (I own the rights to the word "microwavery")

no way it doesn't taste the same.

your mission out if you havent had lipton noodles

two words Easy Mac

:1orglaugh is it as bad as it sounds?

Hmmm a GF to do stuff while my wife is out...I'll have to give this serious thought...:Graucho

It cooks alternatingly between micro and halogen light.

I use my Total Chef convexion oven for cooking, or just a frying pan if I'm making a steak. The microwave is strictly for defrosting or warming up food, not cooking -- especially not meat.

me too i just use it for warming foods up.

The turkey wont fit or I would...

I make scrambled eggs pretty much every morning in the microwave. Usually cause im in a hurry and its a pain in the ass to clean a pan every morning. they are pretty good!

Never cooked anything in it. It has too many rules you have to put up while cooking. Not my thing.

I'm not crazy about food that has been cooked with it.

no cooking with a microwave is just wrong.

Making scrambled eggs are great to make in the microwave. Its quick and no mess compared to the stove.
