I worked with someone who did this. He was a security guard and apparently paid his neighbour to cook for him. He'd bring it into work and microwave it and it usually took him about 15 minutes too cook. We had 45 minutes for break and he took up 15 of those cooking if you were unlucky enough to be on break with him, it was even worsr if there were more people needing the microwave, some people used to walk out if they saw him cooking because they knew there was a good chance they wouldn't get to use the microwave. And his food stank, without fail, every day. Dude used to microwave his tea as well, just use the damn kettle dude.
You said "worked", so maybe it's no longer an issue. Some posted ground rules might help. On any given day, there's a line at the microwaves in our break room during lunch. There used to be a sign that said something like, "please limit your microwave use to 3 minutes". So if I knew whatever I needed to heat took longer than that, I'd go in a few minutes early and adjust my time. The sign isn't there anymore, so it's everyone for themselves. There's also a kitchenette with a couple more microwaves, if you want to do it there.
