My family used to go to my married older sister's house for Thanksgiving when I was a kid. One year, she got a brilliant idea! She decided to save time and effort by cooking the turkey in the microwave oven. Why get up early to cook when it's so easy to push Power: High followed by Start?
The turkey turned grey and smelled like it had been boiled, which left us with tinned cranberry sauce and frozen vegetables for dinner. It took my mother and my other sister over an hour on the phone to find an open restaurant with an open table for 6 adults, an unhappy starving kid, and a baby.
Ouch!
