Microwaves are like any other tool - you don't get born knowing how to
use them.  It takes practice.  I can make very nice crisp veggies and
even nice sloppy scrambled eggs in the microwave.  Just because you
(plural) can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done.

On the original topic, our vegetable steamer (separate electrical
appliance) gets a lot of use because it lives in the utility room and
hence makes it easier when there are lots of different people all
trying to cook at once.  Also useful for dinner parties.
