It's perfectly fine to cook them in the microwave, providing you stick a fork in them first to relieve the expanding gases within the casing.

I suspect you know that now.

It's unacceptable to cook ANYTHING in a microwave.

Reheating stuff is mildly acceptable.

completely agree, i've gone through 2 microwaves and i now cook by the oven/grill and hob.

plus microwaves are noisy and hardly cook things properly.

Once I learned to cook, I threw away my Microwave and have been happy ever since. Among the reasons you listed, they also take up a lot of room if you have a small kitchen and are a hassle to clean.

Culinary tip number 2:

Don't bake aubergines in the oven without cutting the leaves off (pricking holes into them would probably work too). 😞

plus the food tastes much nicer, i still have to put up with microwaves cos one of my flatmates only has the ready meals you get from the super markets.

but food you cook yourself normally tastes so much more satisfying (it does in my case anyway)

Wow. Amazing what throwing away a microwave can do. Maybe I should get one, so that I can throw it away.

How can the microwave tell whether the head is faulty?

The same way it can tell if I'm unhappy.

Not all of are unemployed layabouts that have nothing better to do than smoke bongs full of sensi bud and then char up everything in the pastry sections of seven different cook books.

Sorry about the wait. Just been to Iceland to buy some microwave meals.
I remembered to prick the sausages to relieve the pressure but, the end result was, well, err just disgusting. I had to slap them between two pieces of stale bread, just so that I didn't have to look at the whilst scoffing them.
Words cannot describe the sight I saw when the MW went BING and I opened the door. Urrrgh.
