[...] My post on using the microwave a month or so ago was a pretty quick and sweeping one… And I got a little pushback for it from some readers. I hear all of you, trust me. I hear the concerns about the radiation and the loss of nutrients. And I hear, too, that many of you see the microwave as indicative of a loss of cooking skills and taking pleasure in the preparation of food. On the other hand, so many of us have so little time to get a healthy meal on the table — and I would rather that folks steamed some broccoli in the microwave to add to pasta with some fresh chopped tomatoes than ordered Chinese take-out.

Meghan, thanks for the comment! I hear you, and certainly respect the thought. Often, the difference in time can be negligible.
