Heating up my lunch

Microwave ovens promise so much but deliver so little. My food is scalding hot in some parts and barely warm in others. I had to stand and wait for several periods of 30 seconds to see if it had warmed up - no, restart the microwave.

If I'd put the food in a conventional oven, I'd have done something else for fifteen or twenty minutes, and everything would be fine.

Late breaking news: that mouthful was COLD.
