    Heating tea in a microwave oven sounds disgusting.

      That’s a popular opinion.

        That’s pretty much the only reason why people don’t like microwaves… because all the other people don’t like them.

          Microwaves are all-around quite bad compared to a pan or pot. They are just faster, but that comes at a price in taste. Not worth it imo.

            You’re half right. Anything that you want browning on cannot be cooked in a microwave. Anything you would just give a short steam you can. Just need to understand the tool and its uses. High end restaurants use a microwave as part of normal dinner service (they pull out the dinging bell so you don’t notice though).

              That could explain why I dont like high-end restaurants.

            Pans and pots are at the same time quite bad compared to an oven. At least if you want somethink baked. But that’s of course an unfair comparison, because the methods and wanted results are completely different.

            A microwave is not something that can do EVERYTHING better. Nobody ever said that.
