   Plenty of food is much better cooked in other than a microwave.   
   That includes pizzas, pies, leg of lamb, steaks, chops etc.   
      
   Microwaves do veg well and other stuff like rice and soup   
   and even just tea and coffee hot water but with plenty of   
   other stuff you get a better result with something different.
