The microwave is loved by some and hated by others. I use mine everyday and would struggle to be without it. I heat my coffee up so I get to enjoy it down to the very last drop. I stew fruit in it when I buy in bulk, then freeze. I defrost dog bones, re heat meals when children come home late and often buy Quick Rice. I have never cooked a meal from scratch in it and don't intend to. It is a time saving appliance that enables me also to on occasion take short cuts. Tonight was such an occasion. I microwaved a large sachet of Quick Rice and then added to it some fresh ingredients and created a Microwave Savoury Rice dish. Due to my current, total lack of strength down my left arm I cannot juggle heavy pans and lids or stir briskly so the microwave has come into its own and become the perfect sous chef.
Hope your arm starts to feel better soon Kate.
I almost never use my microwave, not sure why.
