Microwave Shmicrowave
Anybody ever have a microwave oven that actually defrosts well?
I've never seen one that can. The two we had when I was a kid, the one we had in our first apartment, the one that came with the house that we bought, and the new one I just installed a week ago...none have been able to defrost in anything close to a convenient time.
Saturday night, my wife wanted to make lettuce wraps. As with all recipies, she doubles or triples the batch, so we had to defrost 6 frozen chicken breasts. I figured I'd do 3 in the microwave, and I'd do 3 by hand under the kitchen faucet (or tap, for all my British readers). The 3 I did by hand were defrosted in about 10 minutes. In the microwave, it took about 35 minutes.
That just seems weird to me.
