Microwave, I never had one, because, I never wanted to eat ultra-processed microwaved food.

But now , I use it all the time:

  1. to reheat my tea
  2. cook my vegetable (since I learn they retain more element being microwaved than cook)
  3. I can stock on pure frozen product, tuna , salmon, raspberry... and eat them when I want without being afraid of spoilage.

So now all my meal are more healthy just because of microwave, which seems counterintuitive, but is true.

I never understood the thought process that led to microwave cooking being unhealthy. Vibrating the water molecules to steam cook isn’t bad.

Maybe it’s the types of instant foods that are available? Those also exist for ovens though and don’t seem to carry the same stigma.

Idk about unhealthy but I generally find that food comes out of the microwave soggy and gross.
