I don't like Microwave food either (as a rule), but it certainly comes in handy when I have forgotten to take something out of the freezer to thaw. Also, it is great for warming up that cup of coffee that I poured two hours ago and didn't get to drink. I do like to 'bake' potatoes in the microwave.
When my old one died (it was over 10 years old), I really felt the loss until the new one was purchased. Even though we don't use a tool often, it sure is nice to have it.
