It is hard to imagine food with much taste unless you've added a lot of spices to your foods while "cooking" in the microwave.

Ken, my deceased SIL taught me how to bake potatoes in the microwave. Put the potato or potatoes in a shallow glass or ceramic bowl and add a little water to it. Prick the potato with a fork on both sides and lay in the bowl. Cook four minutes and then turn the potato over and cook for another four more minutes. If baking two cook for eight minutes each side. Take out slice open and mash insides filling with butter and cheese. Wrap in foil to let the butter and cheese melt and you have a potato that tastes like it has been baked in an oven. I had my doubts about it as I prefer oven baked potatoes, but tried it and for sure it was not hard but very soft in the middle and tasted like one baked in my oven.

I don't cook that much any more, but a lot of times for lunch I will have a potato and find it filling for me. I am no longer a large eater and believe my medications have affected my taste buds and appetite so rarely find myself to be very hungry at meal times. I eat most times because the clock tells me it is time to eat. Not real happy about that either, but doctors refuse to let me discontinue my medications.
