Default How long does it take a microwave oven to warm up?

Who would "cook" anything in a microwave. They are meant just to heat
things up unless "cook" just means make it hot to you.


What alternate reality are you living in?

Cook - the art, science, and craft of using heat to prepare food for
consumption
In other words "it tastes like **** but you can live on it".
I suppose there is no difference to some people between cooking a fine
meal from ingredients, not out of a can and nuking something in the
microwave.


You're assuming that you can't cook a fine meal in the microwave.

You are, as usual, wrong.


Most people can't.


Most people cant cook a fine meal from scratch.

It takes a bit of technique to cook some items well.


Just as true of a conventional oven and stove.

With a barby in spades.

Back about 35 years an appliance store sold them and gave classes where
you cooked a full meal. My wife and I bought one and took the class a
couple of nights and yes, that beef roast was damned good.


Sure, some stuff still is best the normal methods


Yeah, particularly roast leg of lamb, steaks, chops etc.

but with proper preparation, using various power setting, you can do far
more than heat leftovers.


And some stuff like potatoes done in their jackets and
frozen veg are better in the microwave than other ways.

Of course you won't get crispy skin on your chicken but you can do amazing
things with boneless skinless parts.


And pies and sausage rolls and stuff like that
are much better in a conventional oven.

If you don't know how, it will be chunks of rubber.
