I use my microwave all the time. I make homemade soups, boil chicken and cut and cubes and freeze it, freeze rice, quinoa, spaghetti in serving portion sizes, freeze sautéed peppers and onions, freeze homemade pasta sauce, make meatball/meatloaf and freeze and this way when I want a nice quick meal, I defrost in the microwave without having to really cook. Spaghetti squash cooks nice in the microwave, too . If I have frozen hot dogs or frozen cooked sausage, I put it in a little water and microwave on 50% power for about 45 seconds and cook on high for about 30 seconds after that. Same thing with defrosting the cubed chicken in microwave. Add a little water so it doesn't dry out. Then you can add any seasoning or sauce to it. The peppers and onions will go good with scrambled eggs. The corn on the cob works great as someone else said, I give it a quick run over of water first before putting in microwave. You can even cook a baked potato in a microwave.
