Do people actually use microwaves for cooking or is that just a meme?
Yes, microwaves are a poor substitute for an oven but they work fine for vegetables that you might otherwise use a steamer to cook. Stuff like broccoli, beans, carrot pieces etc. Corn on the cob works well too, just give it a few minutes in the microwave with the husk still on.
Anything that's ok mushy, really. You can also use it to start cooking something that you finish somewhere else.
Great for reheating leftovers, if it has a good humidity sensor.
