Comment on Vibe coding is to coding what microwaving is to cooking.

Does anyone actually cook in their microwave? I don’t mean reheat things or heat up a pizza pop, but like actually cook something with the varying temperatures and all that shit they can do. Like is anyone making raw meatballs, saucing them and cooking them in the microwave?

Oh I’ve totally forgotten about potatoes. I used to do that ages ago and it worked really well.

Yeah, me.
Here’s the rule of thumb: do you think the food benefits from being cooked unevenly? For meatballs as you mentioned, I’d sear them in a frying pan to get a little bit of crispiness before I cook them through in the sauce in the microwave. Hunters chicken, cakes, seafood, all good. The microwave will cook far more evenly than a convection oven, though sometimes the unevenness is desirable.

From time to time, just some veggies to go along with air fried chicken.
But that’s because I don’t own a stove, all of my cooking is handled by an air fryer, rice cooker, and the microwave

I do so many things with my air fryer, such a great appliance.

You can steam potato from raw in the microwave, just need to put some water in a bowl next to the potatoes plate. Or use a special bowl made for this. It’s quicker than using a steamer, and just as good.
