I still use my microwave. It's a must have. For example: Baked potato in the air fryer, like 20 to 30 minutes. Microwave, 6 minutes.
To help conserve electricity, after my coffee has brewed, I turn it off. If need be, I'll heat up a cup in the microwave if I want some later.
LAzy meal
1 potatoe + 1 large onion in the microwave for 90 seconds
Cut a deep cross in each one a slather with herbed butter ( I have about 10 different herbed butters in the fridge ) .
Grew both the onion & the potatoe
Microwaves cook by heating the internal moisture so what goes in needs to be fresh & moist
Better for cooking veggies than meats because they do not seal the outside so the juices are driven off & don't remain within the meat .
Where as veggies are best cooked skin on so the moisture remains within the veggies & the flavours are intensified plus all of the vitamins that are not heat sensitive are retained.
People with auto immune dieseses do have problems because all of the minerals are also retained so for instance people with Lupus that is triggered by the K2 receptors need to boil veggies with hight K contents to remove the K from them
Similar thing for people with high blood pressure that is Na sensitive boiling is the only option if they are to avoid flare ups .
SO you need to be aware of how the method of cooking affects the food you cook because even good food can make your symptoms worse .
