Honestly I would use this book. I'm not even single. But a lot of the microwaves bad reputation is from misuse. People just blast them on high and expect perfect food.

Yup. At the very least double the time and halve the power. You just have to learn your microwave.
For example, I can nuke sausages and have them come out looking like I grilled them if I do 15 minutes on 20% power.
Longer time and less power is the secret!
Another thing I've started doing is nuking my cup before pouring coffee or tea in it and nuking our dinner plates before putting food on them.
Interesting. Do you put the dishes in clean/dry?
Yeah, you're just pre-heating them. Just make sure they're microwave safe
Yes and yes. It's so food/liquid doesn't get cold fast like it would if the cup or dish wasn't warmed up.
Is that okay for the microwave? I had heard that it wasn't good to run a microwave empty...
I had never heard of that before but it looks like that is the case. With no liquid to absorb the microwaves, the mechanism in the oven ends up absorbing them and it can get damaged.
I've been doing it for like three years though and our microwave oven is still fine. I only nuke plates (a stack of 2) for 30 seconds and a single cup for 15 seconds. But I think I'll reduce the plates to 20.
If you want to save energy and reduce risk: put the things you want warm in wet. Microwaves get absorbed much better by liquids. Like a lot better.
Just run the plates under the tap quickly and wipe them down after heating. Some of the water will have steamed off anyway, so this is super quick.
For cups, just put the liquid you want them to hold in before.
How do you make a milkshake in the fucking microwave, Marie? Are you drinking hot milkshakes?
One person is gonna eat all that?
Gotta love eating to smother your negative emotions.
I love cooking jelly in the microwave
My wife made a bunch of these back in the day and they were pretty good!
Why is all the meat raw?
