The Case Against Microwaves

When I moved in, I had the option to go and buy a microwave. It seems the sensible thing to do, seeing as I live on my own and it makes it really easy to have quick meals.

This is exactly the reason I didn't get a microwave - so I don't have a long succession of meat pies or cup-a-noodle soups. It's starting to pay off now. I'm finding it easy to just fry some pork or steam some fresh veges, slap it on rice or bread, and have a 'proper' meal. And I save a hell of a lot of space where the microwave was. It's a great spot for sauces, marinades and basics like bread. :)

There is a good point here - for better food. However: You really can't go past the 'wave for heating food up quickly, defrosting, etc. I admire your ability to reroute yourself.
