*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.

Sorry, but i cook raw bacon in the microwave often if I'm in a hurry... What makes you think you can't?

@Convivial Lol. Poor choice of words. Technically, you [i]can[/i] but that's not how bacon is supposed to be cooked. Honestly, I never heard of anyone doing that until I googled it today. It doesn't look tasty to me.

I always use microwave as a way to [b]heat[/b] cooked or pre-cooked foods.

@SomeMichGuy Sigh. This back and forth is wearing me out a bit. Lol. It doesn't help me with my situation either.

He would not be with a woman who doesn't know how to cook or one who uses a microwave to cook. It's not appetizing to him... even the bacon didn't turn out right. It's not the way people [b]cook[/b] most foods, and he would find it unacceptable. He wants a woman to cook for him daily as his mom always did. It's very concerning that he doesn't know how to cook bacon so that it's appetizing to him. The bottom line --- he wants a woman who knows how to cook [i]without[/i] using a microwave. He wants tasty food, and he wants a woman to cook it for him, preferably.


If you want to argue about if it's right to cook bacon in a microwave vs on the stovetop, oven, george foreman or any other way, that's beside the point of my post. He and I agree on what is the most tasty way to cook it. He doesn't want a woman who cooks in a microwave! This is getting exhausting with you. Lol. Goodnight.
@perceptivei 🤣 I get this all the time on this site. People can't or won't answer the question posted , but their ego won't allow them to move on. They have to pretend to be smart by spouting a totally irrelevant or off topic manifesto. They will say anything just to say something. Big deal! Look at me... they know all about bacon.

It IS exhausting.

@LoneVoice Exactly. Thank you.

@perceptivei i agree that frying it is better, but, as i said, "if I'm in a hurry"
perceptivei · 36-40, F
@Convivial I understand.
