i don't own one. i wanted my Mom to return the 1 she got me for Christmas several years ago.
yins guys like microwaves or prefer other ways of making your foods?
To shun the microwave is like shunning the automobile as a tool to get you from point A to point B when your current transportation is a horse. Yes, both will get you where you want to go, but why would you ignore such a powerful time saver as this is? I'm only piping in here because my nephew was fed the anti-microwave meal when he went to culinary school in Pittsburgh, yet when he did his externship at the Ritz Carlton, the kitchen had several of them, as did each subsequent kitchen he worked in.
No, they will not give you pretty finished meals like an oven will, but there are many times when I've come home to frozen food and was still able to have dinner within an hour. Sorry, but "
no nukes in the kitchen" is not a good mindset to embrace. Would you refuse to use one for an employer? I didn't think so. Then why deny yourself the convenience?
BTW, all new construction and renovation of kitchens in single family homes include a built-in microwave. It is "
expected" to be there when the buyer walks through, and points are deducted when doing side-by-side comparisons of properties if it is missing. I believe it is also a line item in the description of a home's accessories in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
