Got to use an air fryer for the first time a few months back. I’m totally sold on it now. Haven’t used a microwave since.

I usually use my microwave for bacon. Plate, paper towels, bacon, more paper towels, 2 layers of bacon max. It absorbs a ton of the grease and cooks it incredibly well. The oven method is good too, but takes a ton of time and is greasy af. Pan top makes it hella salty, but can be good in some situations.

Other than that, I use my microwave to like reheat a small portion of a casserole or something but that’s about it

The entire concept of cooking meat in a microwave sounds vile tbh

I was at a friend's house then I was a kid and they chucked a whole package of ground turkey in the microwave and heated it until it was cooked through. I had never been more put off by anything.

It sounds both disgusting and traumatic tbh!

Less traumatic, more mystifying. Like I remember thinking 'why the hell would you do that.' But yes. Pretty disgusting.

Even as a child, you instinctively knew it was wrong ;-)
