Huzzah!
I didn't know such a thing exists.

Bloody hell I absolutely love you, you don't know how much this means to me. Seriously. This has cheered me up considerably.

I owe you a cyber pint.

Is it quicker than doing it on the stove?

Slightly quicker I think
main advantage though is that it means you don't have to walk to a kitchen with a stove
