Beats the heck out of me. I have been chided in the past for deprecating
remarks about using a microwave for cooking and was told that I just
don't know how to use one properly. Some claim to have excellent results
from the microwave. I can't say that I have ever had anything cooked in
a microwave that could not be cooked better with traditional methods. I
especially dislike anything with flour being subjected to those
machines. It vulcanizes breads and pastries. It is handy for thawing
some foods and it can be used to heat up milk or water. Even coffee is
degraded when re-heated in a microwave.
