"Nope.
Microwave them. No pan to wash and more control on the temperature. "
but youd have the container you used to heat them up in a microwave to wash up... |

"For things like beans, scrambled eggs, spaghetti & mushy peas.
Pan cooking all the way!!!  "
A microwave! Less washing up, quicker - and won't ever burn And set your smoke detectors off if you get distracted by someone's pics when perving/making breakfast simultaneously!! |

But Microwaving food just "nukes" the food and essentially removes a lot of the nutrients!
Yes it is easy to think you get the end results of cooking in a fraction of the time but cooking in a pan can presere the more nutritional elements!
In the kitchens at my work, Microwaves are banned; Chef will not have them at all, under any circumstances. All food is cooked in traditional ways. |

I only use a microwave to reheat food I have previously cooked, with the exception of pop corn and green vegetables such as iceberg lettuce, cabbage, sprouts and broccoli.

Totally agree, microwaves nuke the food from inside out. Long term usage and side effects for humans unknown. Although we have one in the house we try to keep the usage to a minimum. |

This. I defrost meat in mine too. When I say defrost, I mean take the meat out of the freezer and leave it in the microwave all day, I don't actually turn it on or anything  . |

"i threw my microvave oven away because i hardly ever used it.
you still have to clean it out afterwards, so you dont realy save any time."
Nope. Just cover the food and don't cook as if you were nuking bacteria. |

Always pan. Especially for scrambled eggs. Slowly is the key.

"Microwaving vegetables preserves more nutrients than boiling them."
Why not steam. Microwaving vegetables is awful.
Sorry chef here. Hate microwaves for anything other than reheating leftovers. |
