Not arguing with you, only the statement
My only problem with microwaves is that they destroy most vitamins in food, including A, all the B's and C.

Scientist, real credentialed individuals that research this disagree.
“Phenolic compound contents in edible parts of broccoli inflorescences after domestic cooking“, added water to the vegetables during microwaving. In essence, they were boiled using the microwave, so the results were more similar to boiling vegetables. Other studies looking at microwaving without added water demonstrate minimal nutrient loss. The advantage of microwaving is shorter cooking time – just don’t add water to your vegetables before putting them in the microwave.
