Without being mean, what would you think if you found out your boyfriend didn't know you don't cook raw meat by putting it in the microwave?

He thought he could put raw bacon in a microwave and cook it. He said, "You can cook bacon in a microwave! I have plenty times before." I told him that was precooked bacon. He realized I was right when he looked it up.

I wasn't ugly or anything, but it did concern me. He's 43 years old and doesn't know you cannot cook raw meat in a microwave. It makes me wonder if he'll ever be serious with a woman who isn't a huge cook. I remember back when he initially asked me if I could cook. Now it makes more sense why he seemed to care more than previous boyfriends.

Update: This looks disgusting and is not how bacon is supposed to taste or look! Lol... not in the southern part of the USA for sure.

You could cook anything, raw bacon included, in the microwave. You can even order special ridged trays, specifically to cook bacon in a microwave.

@SomeMichGuy Yeah. I understand that.

As I said in my post earlier today, I looked up people actually using a microwave to cook bacon. Yuck. As my boyfriend said, it didn't turn out for him. The bacon in the videos I saw didn't look appetizing in the least. My boyfriend agrees with this or he could easily use a microwave to cook food. He does not.

The reason I laughed at reliably is because I was thinking about all the misinformation I get on Google now vs some years back. Finding out people actually use a microwave to cook raw meat doesn't change my opinion on it or my initial concern. It doesn't produce good results, and he wants a woman who cooks regularly... and a woman who doesn't use a microwave to cook as he'd find that unacceptable! Lol!

@perceptivei Well, the internet had better information when sites actually HAD information (e.g., large FTP directories).

But the social media explosion has created a huge amount of noise. If idiots all believe, link to, endorse something not true, it destroys the usefulness of the Page Rank algorithm.

*Without being mean*, what would you think if you found out your boyfriend didn't know you don't cook raw meat by putting it in the microwave?
