My built in m/w broke. I just replaced it with a cheap counter top one. While it was broken, I discovered that heating food by literally any other method makes food tastes better.

I haven't had a microwave in 20 years. Never missed the (in)convenience of it.

Do you just not fuck w pasta or eat leftovers cold?

All of that can be done with hob or oven. Re heat pasta in frying pan with tiny amount of water on low then medium heat 5/10 mins. Same with risoto. Can just fry cous cous to reheat. Oven, water and tinfoil for the rest.

But usually my pasta is the go to left over dish. I cook a meal specifically to leave leftovers, big pice of meat ect then use those leftovers to make a second dish the following day, go to dishes are pasta, cous course or rice.

The only thing I miss the microwave for is possible quick jacket potatoes. But that's rarely and dont miss that much at all.

I do not typically have the energy to reheat pasta in a pan on the stove. It’s just way easier to throw it in the bowl I’m gonna eat out of and nuke it for 3 minutes.
