    If You Microwave Everything, Check Out These 16 Microwave-Safe Things

    Why wait for the oven to pre-heat or stay by the stove when you can just microwave your food instead?

    1. A bacon cooker that'll make it so simple to whip up that salty goodness. When you wake up in the morning, do you really feel taking a pan out, putting bacon into it, having to remember to flip the bacon, and wait — which step is it that you have to drain the grease from the pan? Yeah, no, forget that.

    2. A pasta cooker for simply preparing a big bowl o' carbs after a long day. No stove, no stress!

    3. A popcorn bowl so whipping up a delicious snack will be super quick and easy. Once it's all popped, you can add butter, oil, and seasonings of your choice!

    4. A cake baker that'll have you realizing you've been baking cakes wrong for too long. Using an oven? That's sooo five minutes ago.

    5. A splatter cover for those who are all too familiar with those dreadful moments of opening your microwave to find your delicious meal turned your microwave into a hot mess.

    6. An egg cooker to prepare omelets, scrambled eggs, and eggs that are the perfect size for breakfast sandwiches.

    7. And while we're on the subject, this silicone egg bite mold. Just fill each mold with eggs and fillings of your choice, put it in your microwave, and enjoy a yummy breakfast or snack!

    8. A rapid ramen cooker so you can spend more time cozying up on the couch with your ramen and your favorite television show. Sounds better than standing over the stove and waiting for water to boil and noodles to cook, right?

    9. A steamer to help cook up fresh and frozen veggies, seafood, poultry, and more. Its steam-release vent allows for even, splatter-free cooking, and the container will stay cool to the touch even when your food is hot.

    10. A mac 'n' cheese cooker so when your next craving for something creamy and cheese strikes, you can satisfy it in a matter of minutes.

    11. A brownie baker that'll leave you wondering how you managed to put so much time and effort into baking everyone's favorite chocolatey dessert in the oven when the microwave was RIGHT. THERE.

    12. A microwave rice cooker because let's be real here, a food like rice that is the staple of so many amazing dishes, shouldn't be difficult or time-consuming to cook!

    13. Freshly, a meal kit delivery that sends a scrumptious selection of pre-cooked meals you just heat up in the microwave and enjoy!

    14. And for those with little ones at home, adults who are picky eaters, or adults who are easily excited over things like chicken nuggets and pizza bagels (me), there's Yumble. Like the meal kit above, you'll get pre-packaged meals that only need to be heated up in the microwave.

    15. A soup mug for quickly heating up fresh and canned soups. This is especially great for those who often find themselves pressed on time, or need to eat on-the-go. You shouldn't have to sacrifice eating a cozy meal when you're in a rush!

    16. Potato bags that'll allow you to eat perfectly cooked potatoes in a matter of a few minutes. The cooking instructions are labeled right on the pouches, and the pouches can also be used for corn on the cob, old bread, cornmeal tortillas, and more!
