    The whole train to use a microwave is that it’s fast.

    If I’m going to be doubling the time, I’d might as well just pull out the stove or the oven and do it right for just a bit more time.

      And I thought I was impatient…

      It’s still faster than a stove/oven. You’re being ridiculous.

      Whatever; not my problem. Go ahead and keep burning yourself on hot plates and enjoying food with cold spots. You do you.

        I’m saying that cooking something for 6 minutes instead of 3 in the microwave is getting close enough that I’d might as well use a pan and cook it in 8 minutes for an even better result.

        If something tends to microwave poorly, it probably shouldn’t be cooked in the microwave at all.

          Generally… If it took 3 mins in the microwave you’re looking at way more time using the oven than 8 minutes. Doubling microwave time should still be significantly faster than using an oven, especially considering preheating time.
