And Martha had to go to prison to learn to use a microwave
I am in no way any kind of food snob and my cooking skills still mark me as an amateur which I'm fine with. I am getting comfortable with trying some new things, working through my fear of self-poisoning, and really just enjoying the discovery that some cooking isn't really as hard as I've imagined it would be.
Case in point, salmon, which I love. If someone told me that four nice pieces of salmon on a bed of spinach and chopped mushrooms in the microwave for nine minutes gets what appears to be a top-quality and snazzy meal, I'd have said they were crazy. But it is true. I've done it twice now, once with an orange juice and Dijon mustard sauce and once with a teriyaki sauce and both times, it came out perfect.
Who knew the microwave was good for anything but heating up leftovers and water?

The microwave is great for grilling, too, particularly vegetables. I nuke onions, squash, eggplant,etc, if I'm grilling (and I generally am) for 3-6 minutes on medium power, depending on the quantity, to be sure they will be cooked through, and then stick them on the grill with the meat course. The idea is to heat them through, so the grilling is thorough...
And a quick 'roasted garlic'-melt 1 stick of butter in microwave in ramekin or small dish(1 minute, in 30 second increments, on medium) and add 1 head of garlic, cleaned; microwave on medium for 20 second increments until it's cooked through, turning it... You'll have a head of roasted garlic, and all the garlic butter you can stand.
I melt chocolate, and pre heat all sorts of stuff, as a timing measure. I think I've finally got the
Boyfriend to understand the concept of having everything finish cooking at the same time...
