Why do people prefer microwaves over stoves/oven for cooking???
I have noticed it takes the same number of steps for most foods if you use a microwave as it would to cook it traditionally. Why do they like it? The food is almost always better when cooked traditionally.
I only use my microwave for melting butter, making popcorn, reheating coffee. I would never use it to actually do my cooking.

We just moved from a house to an apartment that didn't have a microwave and the kitchen isn't big enough for one. And I have to say I don't miss the microwave at all! I've found lots of ways to do all the things I used to do with my microwave and almost none of it is any slower than the microwave was. And you are right! Traditionally cooked anything tastes better than out of the microwave.
Maybe it's just one of those "conveniences" we all gotten used to?
