Title: Do you have a Microwave Oven?
Post by: snuggleycutejc on December 06, 2016, 07:38:26 pm
I have one, I had one since the public was able to buy them at the store. My first one was a small white one. I had a large complicated one, which I used it up and could not buy another. Happy National Microwave Day!

We have one but we need a new one. It finally gave out and I can't press any of the numbers. I think we got our money's worth though.

My microwave is on it's way out.  The light inside no longer works and it automatically turns off after 3 minutes.  I decided to invest in a new one and it should be here on Monday and I'm looking forward to tossing the old one.

I have a microwave/convection oven. I only used the convection oven a couple of times. I use the mrcowave every day and I would be lost without it. :peace: :santa: :wave:

I have had a microwave oven for several years.  My first one was one you could cook a complete meal in.  It came from Montgomery Wards and had the meat thermometer built in.

Post by: SherylsShado on December 14, 2016, 02:12:06 pm
 I have one but it doesn't get used much.  I've had 2 microwaves in 20 years.  The first one I wrecked by warming up water (I forgot to put the mug of water inside the mic and hit the timer for 3 minutes and it just stopped working.  Wouldn't work after that, totally dead.)  That one was almost new when that happened.  I learned my lesson.   ;D

We've had our current microwave since we moved into our new house about 9 years ago, but I don't know how much longer it is going to last. First off, it whurrs and makes odd noises when the turntable rotates, the fan doesn't work at all well (it's an over the oven microwave), and last week, someone in our family managed to break the door handle! I've taped it back on, and it seems to be holding for the time being, but really, it's like putting a band-aid on a surgery wound!

Yes.  I am always so busy that honestly I don't have time for a sit down cook meal at night so I grab a tv and shove it in the microwave.  I literally can't live without one that I own two.

yep,  I would be lost without it.  You can do a lot if you have the right stuff to cook in.  My favorite is a veggie steamer.

Yes and it is possessed! Beeps randomly like it's communicating throughout most the night and then again while trying to use it. Since that began there is now door issues that causes the door to open for no reason off and while in use. We've just gotten used to it and talk back to it as it is just another living thing that begs for attention.

When my sister got married, her husband refused to have a microwave in their house.  He somehow believed that it poisons the food...  Thankfully his friend (a chemist) was able to convince him that it's safe so they now have a microwave in their house.

Indeed I do have a microwave oven.  I'm one that spends a lot of time in the kitchen and if I had my way I'd invest in a good microwave.  However my husband (who ironically relies on it for meals) spends a little as possible on em.  We've been together for 6 years and we've gone through 4 microwaves.  I remember my Mom's first one lasted over 20 years.

I was reluctant when they first came out to try one, but once I found out how convenient it was, I was hooked, and now would not know what to do without it.  I have a couple of microwave cooking cookbooks, and have learned to cook several dishes.  Microwave meatloaf is one of our favorites.  Of course, with the Internet, you can find any kind of recipe you want.  Some of the mug cake recipes for the microwave are super easy and good, perfect for one serving!

I haven't had a microwave for over 5 years now and I do not plan on buying one. I think it is healthier to warm food in the oven or on the stove and after a few months of not having a microwave, I got used to not having one.

I have a microwave. I love to heat up my water for my instant coffee. I don't know what I would do without this. Microwaves are so convient for meals on the go or to reheat foods. They usually last a long time too.

I have one that's by Emerson and it's a good ten years old.  The plastic cover on the power button and the start button are ripped and the inside is a bit rusted now but I'm afraid if I buy a new one it won't last so I'm keeping this one until it literally doesn't work anymore.

Yes we have a microwave.  A couple of times over the years we tried to go without one but it never works because it is too hard to heat up food or coffee.

I do not own a microwave oven. I wouldn’t even use it even if someone was to donate one to me. Convenience is not worth loosing nutrients from the emission of non-ionizing radiation altering the molecular structure of the food heated in the microwave.

Post by: pectacon on March 11, 2017, 09:37:17 am
I have one, but I only use it for reheating, boiling water, popcorn etc. I'd be a bit apprehensive about full-on cooking in there, it doesn't sound very appealing.

Our microwave croaked this week, and I'm not believing how much I relied on it.  I feel like I'm back in the dark ages, heating everything up on the stove.  And you have to plan so much farther ahead if you want a baked potato!  I have been spoiled by all that convenience!
