You don't have a microwave????
Really?Really. Had one once, didn't like it. I can't explain, but there's something about food heated in a microwave that doesn't feel heated, like the hot was on the surface only.
And no good cooking smells in the kitchen. Eh, just kind of artificial and fleeting. Or something.I mostly used it to heat up the cats' meals in the cold weather. And bake potatoes, sometimes.

In 1980 (!) I purchased our first microwave. It was a Christmas gift for Mrs. George. It lasted about 25 years (another !). Of course, with our new enthusiasm, we used it for about everything we could think of : baked potatoes, veggies, steak (with a browning dish)!
Now we use it for some simple things - steam-in-the-bag veggies, reheating leftovers, and quick lunch meals. It's no longer our main cooking device, and hasn't been for the longest time.
It's sort of like the InstantPot, or sous-vide. Once you learn what it's good for, that's what you use it for. It's an accessory, not the main item.

Yup, I can see using it for things like that -- especially if you don't want to drag out the whole kitchen sink -- har har -- to prepare a simple thing.
