I know, I know—the microwave gets a bad rap. People think it’s only good for hot pockets or reheating coffee. But let’s be real: it’s the fastest way to go from a mountain of raw leaves to a tender, savory side dish. Have you ever tried to sauté spinach on the stove and watched it shrink to nothing while you’re still chopping garlic? The microwave does the same thing in under two minutes, without a greasy pan.
It’s also a game-changer for lazy weeknights. You just push a button, and bam—you’ve got a veggie that’s ready to be the hero of your plate. Why wouldn’t you want that?
