So curious... what sounds so ridiculous about it? It seems so natural and obvious for me...

That's funny.

I find using a microwave to boil water so... strange and unnatural. I'm not sure why, but its just odd. That's what a kettle is for!

Why buy another appliance when a microwave does the job perfectly?
