Every house on the street that I live on came with an uber high end 1000w microwave grill built into the kitchen units, along with an oven underneath.
The microwave also comes with a special metallic plate to use with the grill setting, and all the foods that can be cooked in the thing are written on a long sticker on the inside of the microwave door - pizzas, chips, fish, chicken, burgers etc, probably the only thing that cant be done is a whole chicken or turkey obviously.
You name anything that can be bought frozen from a supermarket, you can stick it onto the microwave grill, push one button that says 'crisp' to activate the right function, set the time and viola, it cooks, easy peasy.
Neither my dad, mum, nor brother can figure out how to do this, they see me cooking everything I eat in the microwave on a metallic plate, and they are absolutely astonished and dumbfounded as to how I could possibly cook my frozen meats, chips, veggie burgers and waffles in the microwave instead of having to heat up the oven everytime.
I always tell them very simply - 'All you do is push the 'crisp' button, set the time according to the grill instructions on the box, and put your food on the grill tray'.
So today I was in the kitchen grabbing a drink, and my mum started off a conversation that someones 24 year old son had just returned home from wherever, and his mum was having to cook everything for him (like, seriously?). Apparantly she wanted to figure out how her son could use the microwave to cook his own food like I do, and she had my mum to ask me how I do it.
My mum asked me again - 'How do you cook your food in the microwave? So and so wants to know because shes fed up of cooking food everyday for her son who just came back home'.
I chortled, I couldnt contain myself, I literally raged at the immense level of stupidity found among the three people, two mothers who cant understand how to push one button on a microwave, and some other person around my age who still cant feed himself or simply figure out how to use the grill on his own and still requires his mother to feed him?
YOU PRESS JUST ONE BUTTON!!!! How many times do I have to stand in front of the silly bints and go 'look, this button here, press it, look, my food on this tray, put it inside the microwave, look, the time required is written on the box, turn the dial to that time and it cooks!'.
And they are still like 'Durrrrrr herpderp, but just how and what are you doing? How are you cooking your food in the microwave, why cant you cook some of your stuff for us because we cant figure out how to use the microwave grill ourselves
'
Some people are just a waste of brain cells.
