The microwave that came with my house is the first time I’ve ever had a microwave that had perfectly working popcorn setting. It has never burnt a bag of microwave popcorn.

Same. Haven't had one for over 3 years now and I'm not sure I'm missing anything good. I make popcorn in a stock pot with ghee, powdered salt, and a little turmeric for color. Sometimes a little nutritional yeast or jalapeno powder. My popcorn game has never been better.

That sounds amazing! I’ve been craving popcorn lately but never learned how to do it sans microwave.

How do you handle leftovers? Probably about 80% of the food I eat wasn't cooked on the day I eat it

This is gonna sound silly but I use my instant pot as a bain marie with the warm function or as an air fryer, depending on the dish. My lunches are in tupperware and I just leave them to warm around 10 am, or I throw on the oven lid and roast it up.

Pretty much the only thing I think I'd use a microwave for is to reheat old coffee. Instead I just make it new.
