So, I have recently found a solution to all my problems. Recently, my microwave is only used for popcorn ONLY because I don't have a popcorn popper. I never use it for anything else. I mean, come on, if it's so dangerous that pregnant women can't use it, then why should we? It only makes the leftover food you're trying to eat taste nasty anyway. I bought a toaster oven for all the leftover warming and baking stuff that would otherwise take forever in the big oven. Only then did I realize I was gravely missing another essential part of the microwave: the defrost button!!! For one, I don't like using it because it also makes your food all weird and cooked on the outside but cold on the inside and it tastes bad and all that good junk, and for two, well.... it's the microwave and I don't like using it. But it used to make defrosting meats easy and fast so that I can make dinner instead of buy MORE meat from the store or eat out. Today, I decided to put my chicken in a pot of boiling water to see if that will thaw it out, and turns out IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!! Not only does it defrost quickly, it also gets rid of some of the natural chicken grease that would normally be added to my frying pan full of corn oil, so it's healthy and nice!!! I feel accomplished, but I hope my food doesn't suck now....
