I recommend using a microwave to heat water (with a porous wooden stirring rod to prevent overheating).
I cook all of my food in a microwave using techniques and technology developed in the 70s. Browning pans have evolved since then and I can cook better food than ever in one sixth of the time. My oven/grill is called a MicroPro and is made by Tupperware. It is actually life changing. My wife cooks for me consistently for the first time in our marriage of 10 years, I never get burned cooking, and we get 2 hours back in every day.
I am convinced that the microwave cooking movement was opposed by the fossil fuel industry and oven manufacturers.
- ArkanExplorer 6y agoElectric pressure cookers can achieve the same thing and arguably produce tastier food. The electricity use is probably even less than a microwave due to the lack of evaporation.
- LegitShady 6y agopressure cookers require WET food. They're only for a subset of food.
- westcort 6y agoI have a rice cooker and a bread maker too. There is a pressure cooker for the microwave, but I don’t feel I need one. Time savings—-the ability to make a Thanksgiving meal for 4 and eat it and put it away and clean up in 35 minutes—-is the main benefit. You would never know the food was cooked in a microwave. It is indistinguishable. Bad associations created through de Beers style society level advertising campaigns that seem more like traditions than advertisement are the reason. The only reason I can buck these trends is that I have made my living in advertising and public opinion influencing.
