I know exactly where to set the gas burner under a pot of rice to
keep it at a simmer without boiling over.

so the rest of the meal can be prepared while the rice is cooking.
The curry doesnt take 45 mins, reheating it later in spades.

Some of us actually cook a new meal every evening.

The extra 20 minutes doesn't make much difference, and the
stovetop doesn't require you to repeatedly mess around with the rice.
No messing around at all with the microwave, just weigh out the
water and rice on the digital scales. program the two phases at
once into the microwave, add the curry to the container you
microwave it in and eat it out of the container with a splayd.

Looks like a shovel might work better for you.

No cleanup at all required, put the container
in the dishwasher when you have eaten it.

Just as I do with everything I generate when I really cook.
