This thread got me to thinking, I did not realize just how much I use my microwave:

I slice onions, put them into a dish with a tablespoon of water, cover and microwave for two minutes, then fry. Best onions ever.

I do sliced peppers the same way - peppers and onions, yum.

Corn on the cob, two minute, then strip - the corn, not me!!!.

Baked potatoes - turn every minute for three minutes, wrap in foil to finish off.

Reheat whatever I need reheating.

I make strawberry puree, keep it in the fridge, nuke several tablespoons and serve over biscuits with cream - now that is really yum.

Chocolate sauce for ice cream.

So many ways to use your microwave and some great new ideas on this thread.

If you like left over pizza this is a great reheating idea: put your cold pizza into a warm fry pan, heat until the base is crispy, add two tablespoons water to pan and cover with lid. Let warm through. The finished pizza is almost as good as a new one.
