I know what you mean. I've resisted the fashion. I've used my Microwave for years and find it fast and efficient for loads of stuff. I use it to do my frozen mixed veg and canned potatoes ( slice them up first otherwise they pop/explode ).
I keep the Microwave trays from single Micro meals and use them as they are the exact size. I place my frozen veg in one tray with a bit some water and the potatoes in another the same on top. Around 9 mins and both are done. If I'm having meat or chicken strips I cook them/it for around 3 mins from the freezer and then fry in the pan for the rest and proper cook. Saves loads on my gas bill.
I stopped using my Gas wall hot water heater years ago after fitting one of these in my Kitchen sink,
Electric Water heater
You need a 30 amp cooker supply to be safe. I worked out the pilot light on the Wall heater was costing around £50 a year just to be left on and of course used a lot of water before the hot water came through to the sink so it's also knocked down my Water bills.
It wasn't hard to fit but you need the flexy pipes like this,

You just need to match up the correct one/s.
Various ones around and help on YT
