I get this one.
I don't cook meals, make recipes, or use my microwave as a primary source of cooking. It is one thing to heat up some water, set it for a minute or two to heat up something that is cold, or cooking something that is specifically designed for microwave cooking (prepackage steam bags of frozen veggies or desserts that require a 20 second zap)....but, starting with fresh food or raw items....I never put that stuff in the microwave.
Eggs are a good example. If you take an egg and crack one in a pan on the stove and put one in the microwave....the consistency of the egg will be different...almost rubbery from the microwave.
When microwaves were first introduced there we a lot of people who saw it as an alternative to ever using their stove again....and there are a lot of people who live completely off of meals and items designed for microwave cooking and convenience. I am not one of those people who buy those items, in fact...I stay away from them.
So, when she says no microwave "cooking" for her....I totally got it. I don't "cook" anything in the microwave....only minimally use to reheat items that have already been through the cooking process.
Totally logical.
