Yes

I'm pretty sure that's not true in most of the world

Do you like microwave ovens? Do you think they're useful?

if you're lazy and eat frozen shit food i guess they're ok

you guys have too much time on your hands

About the only thing I use ours for is to heat water for tea, pop popcorn and melt butter for said popcorn.

Chris do you care to answer the question

You anti microwavers must not have teenagers in your house. When it's "I'm hungry" your options are you (or them) cook something on the stovetop creating a mess they'll never clean up, or tell them to microwave some trader joes meal that only dirties a fork.

i will answer the question: "yes," i like microwaves. they're convenient. to be sure, i'm not cooking a turkey for thanksgiving in one. but they save time, especially with kids.

yep, we do the bacon first and then the eggs in all the bacon grease..

yes that is how you make eggs

I only use the microwave to make popcorn. And not normal "microwave popcorn", I use the device this dude starts reviewing at the 1:30 mark.



But I don't put the butter on top like he does. The butter doesn't need to be in the microwave for as long as the popcorn so I find it burns a little and just sticks to the side of the thing. Instead I just melt a little on the stove and pour it on top when it's done.

Then you're not making eggs the right way.

Sometimes I like ham. Sometime sausage. Bacon tastes really good, but it isn't all that filling.
