I nuke my bacon, if I bother to take even that much time.

1. Nuking bacon is NEVER as good as frying,slowly frying.

2. Frying bacon slowly greatly motivates our dog to be man and woman's best friend. n/t

3. I get it, but....

In the morning, I take a slice of bacon, cut it up, and put it in a bowl. I scramble an egg and add it to the bowl, along with some onions and swiss cheese. Then I nuke the whole concoction until it's nuked enough.

Instant breakfast.

I have a cast iron skillet, but in the summer, using a skillet adds way too much heat to the kitchen. In the winter, things will be different.

4. Aaaah,that's different---the frying does take time. Sounds like a great breakfast.

5. To be fair, other than boiling water ... nuking ANYTHING is pretty much always inferior ...

Actually the frozen dinners that are made to only be done that way can't really be made any better by other means, but ... that's about it.

In fact, I don't even reheat stuff in the microwave often. Toaster oven or pan is usually still better.

It IS best though for reheating mashed potatoes, I'll give it that. Oh, and already-cooked or frozen corn, that is also fine in the microwave.

I usually use the nuker to like 1/3 defrost ... things ... so that they then take 1/2 as long to cook by proper means.

6. It's also fantastic for making porridge !

So easy, rather than a saucepan.

7. Next time I'm making porridge for the first time in my life, I'll definitely try it :) (nt)

8. Here's what I do

Use a deep microwaveable cereal bowl

I put about 40g of porridge oatflakes in, and put enough cold water in, to cover the oatflakes. Stir with a spoon briefly.

I have a 900w microwave oven, so I put the bowl in for one minute, then take it out and give it a quick stir again. Then back in for another minute, and it's done. Give it a quick stir to release the steam.

I make my own brown bread too, which goes so well with it.
