oh my, I just pop my pot in the micro on the glass turn table in there and cover them with the cover and bake...easy as anything....
BTW, I never leave the kitchen anymore when I am cooking. I just go from one thing to the other and by the time I have make several things for a couple days, everything is done and I'm out of there and don't have to worry about watching anything.
When I put the kettle on for tea, I put the timer on because I always forget the water boiling and the timer reminds me....
