Yeh I would never cook in a traditional microwave, the old one we had was used primarily for melting butter, chocolate, and other items for baking...and reheating soup

We now have a convection microwave oven which is much better a cooking food items in a short time period, like an air fryer. But again we only limit the use of the microwave for higher water content items as it lacks the flavour profiles that frying or baking can provide
