i know your pain
we got our first microwave in the mid 80s so my mum insisted on using it to cook absolutely everything, from pasta to toasted sarnies that were soggy rather than toasted.

the worst though were the fish fingers. grim greyish strips of damp foulness that made me feel physically sick whenever i took a bite. thankfully i hhad a pet labrador who would eat anything. slipped the fish fingers under the table, into dog's open mouth, job done. clear plate so mum's happy, no micro fingers so I'm happy.

then the dog threw up. and I got blamed. mum didn't really agree with my argument that it would've been me spewing in a much more spectacular fashion considereing the cast iron constitution of the dog. so i had to clear it up. bugger.
