    I use my microwave every day for my main meal cooking. It does the vegetables. The frying pan does the chicken thighs. And for the Brits, the other main thing I use it for is to heat a mug of water for instant coffee. I have a general-purpose appliance that heats water. I don’t also need a single-purpose appliance for heating water. All arguments for water kettles fall flat, IMO, if you have a microwave oven.

      Yeah I tend to agree. I adore the Brits but had an argument once over a coffee cup (ik, lol) and why some coffee cups couldn’t be microwaved. I said that ALL coffee cups should be microwavable and they vehemently disagreed, specifically because you could use a kettle, and to get over it.

      Then I had to ‘Amerisplain’ haha.
