Definitely Do Not Put Plastic in the Microwave

It was just an example, but since you mentioned it, that perfectly points out what I meant about convenience.

I can stick a package of meat in the microwave and hit a couple buttons and then go do something else instead of running water for a few seconds until it heats up, possibly having to fill the sink or a bowl and put the meat in. All of which takes more time and effort for basically the same result.

I find it more convenient to use water because I have to watch the thawing meat in the microwave like a hawk; it’s very easy to cook the edges on accident. The center also stays more frozen. To each their own.

Again, I'm not thawing meat!!! I'm making it easier to remove from the packaging.
