> There are many years since I have switched to cooking only with microwaves, due to minimum wasted time and perfect reproducibility. And I normally eat only food that I cook myself from raw ingredients.

Some of us also like the food tasting nice besides the reproducibility of the results.



Like I have said, meat prepared in this way is the tastiest that I have ever eaten, except if you are one of those who like real meat less than the burned crust of meat.

Even for the burned-crust lovers, many microwave ovens have lamps for this purpose, but I cannot say whether the lamps are good at making tasty burned crusts, because I have never used them, since I like more to eat meat than to eat burned crusts.

The good taste of meat prepared in this way is not surprising, because the meat is heated very uniformly and the flavor of the meat is not leached away by added water or oil, but it is concentrated due to the loss of water from the meat, so the taste is very similar to that of meat well cooked on a grill, neither burned nor under-cooked, and also without adding anything but salt and spices.


“Burned crust” is not what people want. If it’s burnt it went too far. The fact that you are equivocating the two makes me think you haven’t ever had properly cooked meat or are very confused about what “burned” means. https://www.thetakeout.com/how-to-brown-meat-while-cooking-1...


This convo is hilarious, you rock. I'm not surprised someone was open minded enough to master the art of cooking with a microwave. Also there are different type of fast cooking apparatus that are usually reserved for restaurants but I could imagine they might be up your alley. (I can't right now recall the name of such a device but its similar in function to microwave maybe it is a microwave at its heart?)


> tastiest that I have ever eaten

Let me strongly doubt that.

> the meat is heated very uniformly

Are you sure you are using a microwave oven at all?
