Phew, Luna!

I have never owned a microwave, but there was one in my old apartment. So I got used to it, and was sort of wondering if I'd regret not having one. Tonight I decided to have chili out of the freezer for dinner, and you know what? In a pot with a lid and low heat, it defrosted and heated up in the time it took to make corn muffins. Sweet. Who needs a microwave?

Who needs a microwave?

Me. There was a pot and a lid and more than 90 seconds in your example.

Just in terms of the fuss of hot cereal mine has been a total win after a decade without, almost.

I saw my first Resident Evil 5 trailer with Johann in it. Do I do what I told him and see it in theatres? I dunno...

I have lived without a microwave for about 10 years. Beau does not like them at all. I now have a microwave. We have not used it since we moved in. I don't even know if it works.

Who needs a microwave?

Me, too. I sautee onions in it, and reheat oatmeal, and melt butter for baking, and heat up my leftovers. I was at my brother's house in Chicago this weekend, and they have neither a microwave nor a toaster. (Nor an electric kettle.) But they rarely eat at home, either.

Why does he not like them? I mean, I did not needing one, or thinking they don't have sufficient purpose to exist, but not liking?

I love our nuker. I'm not sure the oven on our stove has ever been used.

ita,

I think he is just suspicious of it. And he thinks it changes the taste of food.

This. The three weeks I lived without one, I was frustrated nearly every morning because I wanted easy oatmeal. Or to quickly reheat leftovers.

We barely use our microwave. At our last place, we didn't even own one and we lived there for about 8 years.

Yeah, basically I find I don't need it. I don't eat oatmeal, but find pretty much everything easy enough to do without one.
