Microwaves don't deserve to be lumped in with shitty Hungry Man dinners. Or AI for that matter!

When paired with an air fryer they are perfect for ensuring meal preps like burritos are heated inside before toasting.

Also you can heat frozen rice which is healther because it lowers the glycemic index, reducing blood sugar spike and making the energy last longer in your body. On top of saving you 20 mins to cook rice for only 1-2 servings.

Also Microwaves work mostly by heating up the water in things. With that knowledge you can reheat foods such as chicken that would likely dry out using most other methods.

The whole "microwaves are killing us" is some hippy dippy bullshit. Most people would need to eat food that actually contains nutrients to begin with before they should worry about losing them during the cooking process.
