But I do think they can alter the taste of food in a very subtle way.

(1) Scrambled egg is the only thing I know that tastes much better out of a microwave, than cooked in a pan on a stove: Many things taste just as good.
(2) Kippers taste as good when cling filmed on a plate and microwaved, the advantage being it takes a third of the time and doesn't stink the house out.
(3) A patent microwave egg boiler is much more trouble than sticking them in a pan on the gas.

There you have my entire repertoire: I only do breakfast.

I never understand this snobbish reluctance to accept microwaves as a perfectly good way of cooking: When civilization moved from a pot dangling from a wooden tripod over an open fire to using a stove, did the cry go up: "Yes, but it's not real cooking".
