I did order a microwave browning dish based on this post and look forward to experimenting. Missed opportunity for an affiliate link or Kickstarter, because I’d totally have given the money to you.
Microwave cooking is a little odd, the non-thermal effects are not super well understood, but could be significant: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9607893/ Using a browning dish means you get all the known issues with cooking with fire, plus all the non thermal microwave effects.
For poached eggs, the method I like the most is the sous vide stick and eggs in shell. Not perfect, but a good enough effort/quality tradeoff for me.
The browning dish seems to work as advertised, but it has not become a regular appliance. Some people in the thread mention the air fryer. I found a countertop combisteam (with the air fry option of course, the brand is FOTILE) can do everything I want better.
I am sad to admit that I have yet to make a better chicken than the one I get by sticking a whole chicken into the combisteam and using the ‘chicken’ setting.
