True.
When my rice cooker died (many years ago), I tried Barbara Kafka's
microwave method. It worked so well, I didn't bother to replace the rice
cooker.

I do vegetables in the MC too - things like sprouts, broccoli, etc, come
out bright green and tasty, never soggy and grey.
Fresh white fish, rolled around a bit of herb butter and quickly zapped,
comes out moist and tasty.
..
Wonderful in summer, when the kitchen can feel oppressively hot. Saves
energy costs, too, as it cooks quickly and the AC doesn't have to work
so hard.
