We have a microwave in our camping car but we've never used it. Don't have one at home.
One of the great cons of our time IMO.

I reckon Cornish pasties do taste better baked, than nuked though- the pastry is less greasy?

Why the fu** are people using a microwave to make scrambled eggs!? Ffs
Can you see the future?
You can get talking microwave ovens as well.

This is good when coming back from the pub and you need something done without reading the instruction book.

Defrosting chicken breasts and the occasional bowl of ready brek is all I use mine for.

Do many people use it to actually cook food or mainly like me just to heat up or defreeze apart from scrambled egg.

Scrambled eggs and a microwave are a coalition more evil than the last one.
Two saucepans - one half filled with water and boiling and a smaller one sitting on top.
Eggs in with a knob of butter (important) and whisk like hell.
Add pepper when you like but salt towards the end.
No milk, no microwave and easy to clean the saucepan.

...or use Stork? Look forward to "why use an oven when you could buy an Aga"?
I never use any oil when frying bacon anyway.

Get round the frying bacon by buying a griddle pan.
Get round the washing up issue by investing in a dishwasher, although I do see a case for having 2 dishwashers, then you would rarely have to put things in the kitchen cupboards.
On a microwave they have their uses, normally for defrosting and maybe boiling milk.
