Things you like to use a microwave to do

I had to look up monkey dish. I make microwaved “poached eggs” pretty often, including this morning. I use a small pyrex ramekin. Crack egg in, cover with an inverted plate, nuke for 12 seconds at full power, turn and nuke another 12 seconds, check and do another 5 seconds or so to get to my preferred consistency which is a bit of runny white and very soft yolk. Slide out of the ramekin onto a piece of buttered toast + S&P.

Microwaves are also great at “re-awakening” stale chips.

Just put the chips on a paper towel and put them through a short run (~30 seconds, or so) in the microwave and POOF! … crispy chips again.
