I do use the microwave for actual cooking. In particular, if you follow the keto diet, the microwave can be your best friend.
Some examples:
1. bacon: either straight on a plate, or on some paper towels to absorb the excess fat
2. eggs: I content that there is no faster way to cook eggs than with a silicone egg poacher [1] in a microwave
3. seafood stew: just put a pound of frozen seafood in a microwaveable steam bag [2], some cream and salt, and in 5 minutes you have a delicious stew
4. roasted vegetables: you do this in the oven, but before you put the vegetables in the baking tray, you steam them in a microwave using the steam bag [2] for 2-3 minutes. This reduces the cooking time from one hour minutes to 20 minutes.
