Microwaving would have it's advantages - it works about 66 times faster than cooking potatoes in a slow cooker.

I cooked some fish tonight for my wife to take to work. Misoyaki salmon. I wouldn't normally cook fish in a microwave but in this case, it works great. The salmon was cooked for 2 minutes and then hit with a propane torch. Microwaving is super fast!
